(Editor's note: The text of the following section proposed for repeal
will not be published. The section may be examined in the offices of the
Texas Ethics Commission or in the Texas Register office, James Earl
Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin, Texas.)
The Texas Ethics Commission (the commission) proposes the
repeal of 20.17, relating to retention of records and reports.
Section 20.17 is proposed for repeal because it has been largely
incorporated into the new 20.18 and is primarily a repeat of
254.001 of the Election Code.
David A. Reisman, Executive Director, has determined that for
the first five-year period the proposed repeal is in effect there will
be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result
of enforcing or administering the proposed repeal.
Mr. Reisman has also determined that for each year of the first
five years the proposed repeal is in effect the public benefit will
be clarity in the law. There will not be an effect on small busi-
nesses. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who
are required to comply with the proposed repeal.
The Texas Ethics Commission invites comments on the pro-
posed repeal from any member of the public. A written statement
should be mailed or delivered to Natalia Luna Ashley, Texas
Ethics Commission, P.O. Box 12070, Austin, Texas 78711-2070
or by facsimile (FAX) to (512) 463-5777. A person who wants
to offer spoken comments to the commission concerning the
proposed repeal may do so at any commission meeting during
the agenda item "Communication to the Commission from the
Public" and during the public comment period at a commission
meeting when the commission considers final adoption of the
proposed repeal. Information concerning the date, time, and
location of commission meetings is available by telephoning
(512) 463-5800 or on the Texas Ethics Commission's website
at www.ethics.state.tx.us.
The repeal is proposed under Government Code, Chapter 571,
571.062, which authorizes the commission to adopt rules con-
cerning the laws administered and enforced by the commission.
The proposed repeal affects the Election Code, Title 15,
254.001.
20.17. Retention of Records and Reports.This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal author-
