ADOPTED RULES An agency may take final action on a section 30 days after a proposal has been published in the Texas Register. The section becomes effective 20 days after the agency files the correct document with the Texas Register, unless a later date is specified or unless a federal statute or regulation requires implementation of the action on shorter notice. If an agency adopts the section without any changes to the proposed text, only the preamble of the notice and statement of legal authority will be published. If an agency adopts the section with changes to the proposed text, the proposal will be republished with the changes. TITLE 7. BANKING AND SECURITIES PART VI. Credit Union Department CHAPTER 93.Administrative Proceedings General Rules 7 TAC 93.25 The Credit Union Commission adopts new sec.93.25 concerning the assessment of costs to the parties related to the record in a contested case hearing, without changes to the proposed text as published in the May 2, 1997, issue of the Texas Register (22 TexReg 3868). This new section is necessary to ensure that the funds appropriated to the department to ensure the safety and soundness of state-chartered credit unions are not depleted by potentially substantial costs related to transcription and preparation of the official record in the conduct of a contested case hearing. There were no comments received regarding adoption of the rule. The new section is adopted under the Texas Civil Statutes annotated, Article 2461-11.07, which provides the Credit Union Commission with the authority to adopt reasonable rules necessary for the administration of the Texas Credit Union Act; and Texas Government Code annotated, sec.sec.2001.059 and sec.sec.2001.177, which provides authority to assess costs of preparing a transcript and an administrative record. 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. Issued in Austin, Texas, on July 21, 1997.
