DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Currently, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) administers the federal
community service program under the National and Community Service Act of
1990.  The functions and activities of this program are  expected to be
incorporated into the OneStar Foundation.  To move the program under the
authority and coordination of the OneStar Foundation, the ties to TWC must
be severed.  S.B. 1183 removes the federal community service program from
the Texas Workforce Commission and the Council Workforce and Economic
Competitiveness.  

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to
