PART 3. TEXAS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COMMISSION
CHAPTER 50. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SELLER SERVER AND DELIVERY DRIVER TRAINING
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) adopts amendments to rules 16 TAC §§50.4, 50.15, 50.17, 50.19, 50.20, 50.23, and 50.31, relating to Alcoholic Beverage Seller Server and Delivery Driver Training. The amendments are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the April 14, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 1934). The amended rules will not be republished.
REASONED JUSTIFICATION. The amendments are necessary to ensure the rules accurately reflect their scope and use proper grammar. The amendment to §50.23 removes the word "Location" from the rule title because the rule does not actually address location changes for seller server schools. The remaining amendments to §§50.4, 50.15, 50.17, 50.19 - 50.20, and 50.31 simply insert or delete commas and hyphens, all of which the agency consider to be non-substantive changes.
SUMMARY OF COMMENTS. TABC did not receive any comments on the proposed amendments.
