22 TAC §153.16
The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §153.16, License Reinstatement, without changes to the proposed text as published in the May 19, 2017, issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 2643). The amendments clarify the requirements for applicants who apply for license reinstatement and explain when an applicant for license reinstatement is eligible for an examination waiver.
The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide clarity for license reinstatement applicants and a requirement that is easier to understand and consistent with state and federal law.
No comments were received on the amendments as proposed.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code §1103.151, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules relating to certificates and licenses, and §1103.152, which authorizes TALCB to prescribe qualifications for appraisers that are consistent with the qualifications established by the AQB.
The statute affected by these amendments is Chapter 1103, Texas Occupations Code. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.

22 TAC §§291.32 - 291.34
The Texas State Board of Pharmacy adopts amendments to §291.32, concerning Personnel; §291.33, concerning Operational Standards; and §291.34, concerning Records. These amendments are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 16, 2017, issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 3066).
The amendments clarify what shall be included in the dispensing process of a dispensing pharmacist; update the categories of references required to be maintained in the reference library of Class A pharmacies and require pharmacies that provide veterinary medications to keep a veterinary drug reference; add a requirement that orally or telephonically communicated prescriptions identify the transcribing pharmacist and the prescriber or agent communicating the prescription; clarify the requirements regarding the transfer of prescription drug order information between pharmacies to be consistent with DEA requirements; and clarify who may transfer prescriptions.
The Coalition for Nurses in Advanced Practice commented that references to physician in §291.32 and §291.34 should be changed to practitioner to make the rule more consistent with other rules. The Board agrees with the comments but will make the changes in a future proposal of the rule. The National Association of Chain Drugs Stores commented that the transfer requirements in §291.34 should reflect the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) citation to ensure that the Board rules continue to align with the DEA rules. The Board disagrees with the comment and did not change the language as suggested.
The amendments are adopted under §551.002, and §554.051 of the Texas Pharmacy Act (Chapters 551 - 569, Texas Occupations Code). The Board interprets §551.002 as authorizing the agency to protect the public through the effective control and regulation of the practice of pharmacy. The Board interprets §554.051(a) as authorizing the agency to adopt rules for the proper administration and enforcement of the Act.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on August 17, 2017.
