HBA-CMT H.B. 68 77(R)    BILL ANALYSIS


Office of House Bill AnalysisH.B. 68
By: Pitts
Licensing & Administrative Procedures
3/11/2001
Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is charged with the
regulation of the personnel service and career counselor professions.
Currently, there are multiple regulations that must be administratively
followed in the process of filing complaints against persons in these
professions.  House Bill 68 eliminates duplicative language and modifies
the requirements needed to file a complaint to allow for a more streamlined
process that TDLR can use to regulate the personnel service and career
counselor industry.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 68 amends law to provide that a complaint filed against a
personnel service or a career counselor with the commissioner of licensing
and regulation is no longer required to be done by sworn affidavit.  

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
