Office of House Bill AnalysisH.B. 69
By: Pitts
Licensing & Administrative Procedures
2/14/2001
Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, there are administrative conflicts between the appeals and
resolution processes for auctioneers in the Texas Department of Licensing
and Regulation's (TDLR) enabling statute of the Occupations Code and the
Administrative Procedure Act.  House Bill 69 reduces redundant and
duplicative language in the Occupations Code relating to hearings and
appeals. 


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 69 removes provisions in the Occupations Code relating to the
hearing and appeal process for the denial, suspension, or revocation of a
license for an auctioneer. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

On passage.
