Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee Request for Nominations

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is currently accepting nominations for one member to the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee (advisory committee) to serve the remainder of the term expiring December 31, 2025. This position is reserved for an appraisal district representative.

In 1993, Texas voters approved Proposition 2 (Prop 2), amending the Texas Constitution to authorize the Texas Legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation "all or part of real and personal property used, constructed, acquired, or installed wholly or partly to meet or exceed rules or regulations adopted by an environmental protection agency of the United States, this state, or a political subdivision of this state for the prevention, monitoring, control, or reduction of air, water, or land pollution." The Texas Legislature implemented Prop 2 by enacting Texas Tax Code, §11.31. TCEQ adopted 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 17, implementing Texas Tax Code, §11.31 and establishing the procedures for obtaining a "positive use determination" under the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Program. The goal of the program is to provide tax relief to individuals, companies, and political subdivisions that make capital investments to meet or exceed federal, state, or local environmental rules or regulations.

In 2009, Texas Tax Code, §11.31 was amended to require TCEQ to form a permanent advisory committee to make recommendations to TCEQ commissioners on matters relating to property tax exemptions for pollution control property. TCEQ commissioners appoint advisory committee members to serve four-year staggered terms.

One of the advisory committee members, an appraisal district representative, whose term expires on December 31, 2025, resigned his position effective January 8, 2024. Under 30 TAC §5.7, if a member of the advisory committee resigns prior to the expiration of his or her term, the commission shall appoint a replacement who shall serve the remainder of the unexpired term.

The nomination form and instructions are provided on TCEQ's website at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/taxrelief/advisory_group.html . Completed nomination forms must be submitted to TCEQ by 5:00 p.m. CDT on June 18, 2024. Nominations received after that date will only be considered if there are insufficient qualified nominees. Individuals may nominate themselves or someone else to the advisory committee, but TCEQ asks that only interested persons be nominated.

Questions regarding the advisory committee nomination process should be directed by phone to Melissa Altman of the Tax Relief Program at (512) 239-1407 or by e-mail to txrelief@tceq.texas.gov.

Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

Notice of Intent to Engage in Negotiated Rulemaking--Total Research Expenditures (Texas State University System, Texas A&M University System, The University of Texas System, University of Houston System, University of North Texas System, and Texas Tech University System)

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ("THECB" or "Board") intends to engage in negotiated rulemaking to amend Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 13, Subchapter M, §§13.300 - 13.305, concerning Total Research Expenditures. These amendments would clarify the reporting of research expenditures for joint academic/health-related institutions to achieve consistency in how research expenditures are credited to joint academic and health institutions. Additionally, based on institutional feedback regarding the Subchapter M rules adopted in January 2024, the reporting of unrecovered indirect cost would be removed as a required element of research reporting under Subchapter M. The Board adopts these rules under the authority of Texas Education Code, Chapter 62, Subchapter C.

In identifying persons likely affected by the proposed rules, the Convener of Negotiated Rulemaking sent a memo to chancellors and presidents at Texas State University System, Sam Houston State University, Sam Houston State University College of Medicine, Texas A&M University System, Texas A&M University, Texas A&M Health Science Center, The University of Texas System, The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Tyler, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Medical School, University of Houston System, University of Houston, University of Houston College of Medicine, University of North Texas System, and Texas Tech University System soliciting their interest and willingness to participate in the negotiated rulemaking process or nominate a representative from their campus.

From this effort, twelve (12) individuals responded (out of approximately nineteen (19) affected entities) and expressed an interest to participate or nominated a representative from their institution to participate on the negotiated rulemaking committee. The positions held by the volunteers and nominees indicate a probable willingness and authority of the affected interests to negotiate in good faith and a reasonable probability that a negotiated rulemaking process can result in a unanimous or, if the committee so chooses, a suitable general consensus on the proposed rule.

The following is a list of the stakeholders who are significantly affected by this rule and will be represented on the negotiated rulemaking committee:

1. Texas State University System;

2. Texas A&M University System;

3. The University of Texas System;

4. University of Houston System;

5. University of North Texas System;

6. Texas Tech University System; and

7. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

The THECB proposes to appoint the following twelve (12) individuals to the negotiated rulemaking committee for total research expenditures to represent affected parties and the agency:

Texas State University System

Jennifer Jones, Controller (Sam Houston State University)

Texas A&M University System

Kristin Nace, Vice President; Chief Financial Officer (Texas A&M Health)

Jeffrey Burton, Associate Vice President; Deputy Chief Financial Officer (Texas A&M University)

Teresa Edwards, Controller (Texas A&M University System)

The University of Texas System

Mark Featherston, Chief of Staff, Office of Vice President for Research (The University of Texas at Austin)

Carrie McMahan, Director, Accounting and Financial Reporting (The University of Texas at Tyler)

Can (John) Saygin, Senior Vice President, Research; Dean, Graduate College (The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Medical School)

Joan Bienvenue, Associate Vice Chancellor, Research (The University of Texas System)

University of Houston System

Claudia Neuhauser, Interim Vice Chancellor, Research

University of North Texas System

Pamela Padilla, Vice President, Research and Innovation

Texas Tech University System

Penny Harkey, Executive Vice President, Finance and Operations; Chief Financial Officer (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center)

Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

Emily Cormier, Assistant Commissioner, Funding and Resource Planning

If there are persons who are significantly affected by these proposed rules and are not represented by the persons named above, those persons may apply to the agency for membership on the negotiated rulemaking committee or nominate another person to represent their interests. Application for membership must be made in writing and include the following information:

1. Name and contact information of the person submitting the application;

2. Description of how the person is significantly affected by the rule and how their interests are different than those represented by the persons named above;

3. Name and contact information of the person being nominated for membership; and

4. Description of the qualifications of the nominee to represent the person's interests.

The THECB requests comments on the Notice of Intent to engage in negotiated rulemaking and on the membership of the negotiated rulemaking committee. Comments and applications for membership on the committee must be submitted by May 26, 2024, to Laurie A. Frederick, Convener, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, P.O. Box 12788, Austin, Texas 78711, or via email at Laurie.Frederick@highered.texas.gov.

Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs

Notice of Public Hearing and Public Comment Period on the Draft 2025 Regional Allocation Formula Methodology

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the Department) will hold a public hearing to accept public comment on the Draft 2025 Regional Allocation Formula (RAF) Methodology.

The public hearing will take place as follows:

Tuesday, June 4, 2024

2:00 p.m. Central Time

Stephen F. Austin Building Room 172

1700 Congress Ave, Austin, Texas 78701

The RAF may be accessed from TDHCA's Public Comment Center at: https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center.

The RAF utilizes appropriate statistical data to measure the affordable housing need and available resources in the 13 State Service Regions that are used for planning purposes. The RAF also allocates funding to rural and urban subregions within each region. The Department has flexibility in determining variables to be used in the RAF, per §2306.1115(a)(3) of the Tex. Gov't Code, "the department shall develop a formula that includes other factors determined by the department to be relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds." The RAF is revised annually to reflect current data, respond to public comment, and better assess regional housing needs and available resources.

The RAF methodology explains the use of factors, in keeping with the statutory requirements, which include the need for housing assistance, the availability of housing resources, and other factors relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds in urban and rural areas of the state.

The Single Family HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Multifamily HOME, Housing Tax Credit (HTC), and Texas Housing Trust Fund (HTF) program RAFs each use slightly different formulas because the programs have different eligible activities, households, and geographical service areas. For example, §2306.111(c) of the Tex. Gov't Code requires that 95% of HOME funding be set aside for non-participating jurisdictions (non-PJs). Therefore, the Single Family and Multifamily HOME RAFs only use need and available resource data for non-PJs.

The public comment period for the Draft 2025 RAF methodology will be open from Monday, May 20, 2024, through Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., Central Time. Anyone may submit comments on the Draft 2025 RAF Methodology in written form or oral testimony at the June 4, 2024, public hearing.

Written comments concerning the Draft 2025 RAF Methodology may be submitted by mail to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Housing Resource Center, P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941, by email to info@tdhca.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Central Time.

Individuals who require auxiliary aids or services for the public hearing on June 4, 2024, should contact Nancy Dennis, at (512) 475-3959 or Relay Texas at (800) 735-2989, at least three days before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Non-English speaking individuals who require interpreters for the public hearing should contact Danielle Leath by phone at (512) 475-4606 or by email at danielle.leath@tdhca.texas.gov at least three days before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Personas que hablan espanol y requieren un interprete, favor de llamar a Danielle Leath al siguiente numero (512) 475-4606 o enviarle un correo electronico a danielle.leath@tdhca.texas.gov por lo menos tres dias antes de la junta para hacer los preparativos apropiados.

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.

B. To claim a "$500 FRENZY" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $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.
