TITLE 37. PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONS

PART 1. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

CHAPTER 14. SCHOOL BUS SAFETY STANDARDS

SUBCHAPTER B. SCHOOL BUS DRIVER ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES

37 TAC §14.14

The Texas Department of Public Safety adopts the repeal of Chapter 14, Subchapter B, §14.14, concerning School Bus Driver Eligibility and Application Procedures, without changes to the proposed text as published in the December 5, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 9940).

Adoption of repeal of the section is necessary in order to delete obsolete language and because the text of the section no longer reflects current statute and practices. Adoption of the repeal is filed simultaneously with the adoption of a new Subchapter B, §14.14, which sets forth minimum driving record requirements for drivers of school buses, school activity buses, and multifunction school activity buses.

No comments were received regarding adoption of the repeal.

The repeal is adopted pursuant to Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission to adopt rules considered necessary for carrying out the department's work; Texas Transportation Code, §521.005 that authorizes the Department to adopt rules necessary to administer this chapter; and Texas Transportation Code, §521.022, which authorizes the department to adopt rules to administer restrictions on operators of certain school buses.

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on May 29, 2009.
