DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Currently, Texas law provides that a person whose license to practice
chiropractic has been revoked or suspended or against whom the board has
imposed an administrative penalty may appeal to a district court in the
county where the person resides. As proposed, S.B. 152 provides that a
person whose license to practice chiropractic has been revoked or suspended
or against whom the board has imposed an administrative penalty may only
appeal to a Travis County district court. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a
state officer, institution, or agency.

the person resides.
