The Texas Board of Nurse Examiners has proposed to amend §211.6 and §211.7 of the 22 Texas Administrative Code to implement §301.1595 of the Texas Occupations Code, as applicable to the committees’ make-up.
From the Texas Register:
Section 211.6 was amended in March 2007 to comply with the Sunset Advisory Committee staff’s recommendations which were subsequently incorporated into House Bill 2426 (HB 2426). Subsection (f)(4) is recommended to incorporate consistency in the rule by designating the presiding officer as the chairperson. Subsection (f)(11) is recommended for amendment to place the chairperson in the position of scheduling meetings that are convenient to a majority of the committee members in order to ensure a quorum is present to conduct business.
For more information, see the relevant section of the August 3 Texas Register.
The Board also proposes to amend the code as it pertains to peer review practices and licensure and the Board’s collection of certain fees.
