(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will not be published.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 20.56, relating to contribution pledges. The repeal
will be effective January 1, 2015.
The repeal of 20.56 deletes the rule relating to reporting a
pledge of a contribution. The rule will no longer apply once
20.54 becomes effective on January 1, 2015.
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-
posal 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

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

CHAPTER 201. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
1 TAC 201.4 - 201.6
The Texas Department of Information Resources (department)
proposes amendments to 1 TAC Chapter 201, 201.4 - 201.6,
concerning the general administration of the department, to en-
sure the rules more accurately reflect legislative actions and the
practices of the department. The amendments are necessary, in
part, as the result of passage of House Bill 2472 (83R), effective
as of September 1, 2013, which added 2054.0331, 2054.041,
and 2054.521 - 2054.522, Texas Government Code, concern-
ing the general administration of the department, the basis upon
which these rules were originally promulgated.
The proposed amendments to 201.5 were submitted to the In-
formation Technology Council for Higher Education and exter-
nal state agency stakeholders for review and impact assess-
ment prior to bringing the rules to the Board. No comments
were received regarding the amendments to 201.5. The as-
sessment of the impact of the proposed changes on institutions
of higher education was prepared in consultation with the Infor-
mation Technology Council for Higher Education in compliance
with 2054.121(b), Texas Government Code. The amendments
to 201.4 and 201.6 apply to the internal administration of the
agency and have no direct impact on state agencies or institu-
tions of higher education.
The department proposes to amend 201.4 to add subsections
(d) - (h) providing for additional oversight responsibility of the
