BOARDS
Part XII. Board of
Vocational Nurse
Examiners
Chapter 231. Administrative
Disciplinary Action
* 22 TAC 231.99
The Board of Vocational Nurse Examiners
proposes an amendment to 231.99, con-
cerning board action possible in reinstate-
ment of a license. The amendment states
more clearly the provisions the board may
require of an individual who is requesting
reinstatement and for better protection of
the public safety
Joyce A. Hammer, executive director, has
determined lh at for the first five-year pe-
riod the proposed section will be in effect
there will be no fiscal implications for
state or local government or small busi-
nesses as a result of enforcing or admin-
Istering the section.
Mrs Hammer also has determined that
for each year of the first five years the sec-
tion is in effect the public benefit antici-
pated as a result of enforcing the section
will be the assurance of a more current
knowledge base for individuals who have
been inactive in the nursing profession for
specific periods of time The economic
cost to individuals who are required to
comply with the proposed section will be
the cost of courses required by the board.
Comments on the proposal may be sub-
mitted to Joyce A. Hammer, Executive Di-
rector, Board of Vocational Nurse Exam-
iners, 1300 East Anderson Lane, Building
C, Suite 285, Austin, Texas 78752, (512)
835-2071.
The amendment is proposed under Texas
Civil Statutes, Article 4528c, 5(g), which
provide the Board of Vocational Nurse Ex-
aminers with the authority to make such
rules and regulations as may be neces-
sary to govern its procedures and to carry
in effect the purposes of the law.
