PART 9. TEXAS COMMISSION ON JAIL STANDARDS
CHAPTER 269. RECORDS AND PROCEDURES
SUBCHAPTER D. JUVENILE JUSTICE REPORTS
The Commission on Jail Standards adopts the repeal of 37 TAC §§269.40 - 269.43, concerning Juvenile Justice Reports, without changes to the proposed text as published in the March 10, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 1439). The rules will not be republished.
The Commission reviewed these rules as part of its statutory four-year rule review, which was published in the December 23, 2022, issue of the Texas Register (47 TexReg 8759). HB 1545 of the 87th Legislative Session repealed Government Code § 511.009(a)(12). That statute required the Commission to report annually the juveniles in county jails. The repeal effectively ended the requirement that the agency collect and report this data. Because TCJS is no longer required to report this data, Chapter 269 Subchapter D is obsolete.
Repealing these rules will help keep the minimum jail standards uncluttered by obsolete regulations.
No public comments were received regarding the rule review.
The repeal is adopted under statutory authority of Government Code, Chapter 511, which authorizes the Texas Commission on Jail Standards to adopt reasonable rules and procedures establishing minimum standards for the construction, equipment, maintenance, and operation of county jails. This adoption does not affect other rules or statutes.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on May 23, 2023.
