Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Revisions to 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapters 290 and 291

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) will conduct a public hearing to receive testimony regarding proposed revisions to 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 290, Public Drinking Water, §§290.38, 290.45, and 290.46, and Chapter 291, Utility Regulations, §291.143 and §291.161 under the requirements of Texas Water Code (TWC), §13.4132 and §13.1395, Texas Health and Safety Code, §341.033 and §341.0315.

The proposed rulemaking would implement amendments to 30 TAC §291.143 by changing the term for a temporary utility manager from 180 days to no more than 360 days, based on the 360-day duration of the emergency order appointing the temporary manager. The proposed rulemaking also includes the basis for renewing the emergency order under TWC §13.4132. The proposed rulemaking would amend 30 TAC §290.46(w) and propose new §290.46(w)(6) by adding requirements of notification by a nonindustrial public water supply system of an unplanned condition that causes a system outage or issuance of a drinking water advisory or boil water notice. Additionally, the proposed rulemaking would amend 30 TAC §290.38(3)(B)(ii) and 30 TAC §291.161(1)(B)(ii) by revising the definition of "affected utility" with the new population of 800,000. Finally, the proposed rulemaking would amend 30 TAC §§290.38(18) and propose new 290.45(j) to establish both a connection equivalency value, and alternative to the equivalency value, for the allowable recreational vehicle site to connection ratio to use for recreational vehicle parks served by the public water system when determining the number of connections.

The commission will hold a hybrid virtual and in-person public hearing on this proposal in Austin on September 12, 2024 at 10:00 AM in Building F, Room 2210 at the commission's central office located at 12100 Park 35 Circle. The hearing is structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration.

Proposed Fiscal Year 2025 Research Agenda

Workers Compensation Research and Evaluation Group

Introduction

Texas Labor Code §405.0026 requires the commissioner of workers' compensation to adopt a research agenda each year for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group (REG) at the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).

Labor Code §405.0026 requires the REG to prepare a research agenda each year for the commissioner to review, approve, and publish in the Texas Register.

Labor Code §405.0025 requires the REG to conduct professional studies and research related to how effectively the workers' compensation system operates.

Texas Insurance Code §1305.502 requires the REG to develop and issue an informational report card each even-numbered year that objectively identifies and compares certified health care networks with each other and with claims outside of those networks.

Proposed Fiscal Year 2025 Research Agenda

The REG proposes the following research projects:

1. A study to evaluate the feasibility and impact of adopting a more current version of the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The REG will complete the project with the assistance of the Medical Quality Review Panel. This study is contingent on the American Medical Association's publication of the 2024 revisions to the musculoskeletal chapters 15-17.

2. An update of medical costs and utilization in the Texas workers' compensation system.

3. An analysis of designated doctors and scheduling companies in the Texas workers' compensation system by evaluating the performance of designated doctors and scheduling companies using metrics such as rescheduled exams, timeliness of reports, and timeliness of payments.

The REG will consider expanding the scope of the research projects or conducting more projects to accommodate stakeholder suggestions, subject to the resources and data available.

Request for Comments or Public Hearing

You may submit comments on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2025 Research Agenda or request a public hearing in writing no later than 5:00 p.m., Central time, on September 16, 2024. A hearing request must be on a separate page from any written comments.

The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, if appropriate, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the Scratch Ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not required, to pay a $50.00 or $100 Scratch Ticket Game. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "VETERANS CASH" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $1,000 or $30,000, the claimant must sign the winning Scratch Ticket and may present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning Scratch Ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "VETERANS CASH" Scratch Ticket Game prize the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail. If a prize value is $1,000,000 or more, the claimant must also provide proof of Social Security number or Tax Payer Identification (for U.S. Citizens or Resident Aliens). Mail all to: Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct the amount of a delinquent tax or other money from the winnings of a prize winner who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money to a state agency and that delinquency is reported to the Comptroller under Government Code §403.055;

2. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code;

3. in default on a loan guaranteed under Chapter 57, Education Code; or

4. delinquent in child support payments in the amount determined by a court or a Title IV-D agency under Chapter 231, Family Code.

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the Scratch Ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "VETERANS CASH" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $600 or more from the "VETERANS CASH" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Scratch Ticket Claim Period. All Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Scratch Ticket Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code §466.408. Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.
