Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. A reasonable time limit may be established at the hearing to assure that enough time is allowed for every interested person to speak. There will be no open discussion during the hearing. The purpose of this hearing will be to receive formal public comment which the TCEQ will consider in determining whether to revise and/or issue the permit and in determining the accuracy and completeness of the permit.

Public Notice - Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance Amendment
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit an amendment to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The proposed effective date for the amendment is May 1, 2025.
The proposed amendment will create a Nurse Residency Program (NRP) for eligible Texas health institutions that administer nursing residencies for newly graduated Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses to increase retention and address the nursing shortage in Texas. The NRP will allow HHSC to make supplemental payments to Health Related Institutions (HRIs). The eligible entities will provide the non-federal share of the payments through intergovernmental transfers to HHSC. The payments will be based on the fee-for-service Medicaid payment gap for all HRIs.
The proposed amendment is estimated to result in an annual aggregate expenditure of ($53,406,112) for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2025, consisting of ($32,043,667) in federal funds and ($21,362,445) in state funds.

Notice of Public Comment Hearing
A public hearing to receive comments regarding proposed amendments to 16 TAC §§401.158 (Suspension or Revocation of License), 401.160 (Standard Penalty Chart), and 401.355 (Restricted Sales) will be held on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., at 1801 Congress Ave., Austin, Texas 78701, George H. W. Bush Building, 4 th Floor, Board Room 4.300. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to promote and ensure integrity, security, honesty, and fairness in the operation and administration of the Texas Lottery by prohibiting the use of lottery ticket courier services that, by any remote means, such as telephone, Internet application, or mobile application, accept and fulfill, for a fee or compensation, orders to purchase lottery tickets on behalf of another person not present to effect an in-person sale (couriers). The Texas Lottery Commission intends to exercise this authority through administrative enforcement proceedings to revoke the lottery ticket sales agent license of a retailer that works in concert with a courier, whether under a common ownership arrangement or otherwise.
Persons requiring any accommodation for disability should notify Dorota Bienkowska at (512) 344-5392 or via email at dorota.bienkowska@lottery.state.tx.us at least 72 hours prior to the public hearing.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.
A. To claim a "DOUBLE SIDED DOLLARS" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $25.00, $50.00, $100 or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated on the Scratch Ticket and may present the winning Scratch Ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. 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 $25.00, $50.00, $100 or $500 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 "DOUBLE SIDED DOLLARS" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $1,000, $5,000 or $100,000, 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 "DOUBLE SIDED DOLLARS" 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.

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 "DOUBLE SIDED DOLLARS" 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 "DOUBLE SIDED DOLLARS" 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.
3.0 Scratch Ticket Ownership.
A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of a Scratch Ticket in the space designated, a Scratch Ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said Scratch Ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.
