Education Code, 12.03(d), which has been amended
to delete the requirement.
Section 81.173 repeats statutory language concern-
ing the acquisition of textbooks for blind and visually
handicapped pupils. Rules implementing revised stat-
utes concerning these textbooks and materials are in
the proposed amendment to 19 TAC 81.171, pub-
lished elsewhere in this Register.
Richard Bennett, associate commissioner for finance,
has determined that for the first five-year period the
repeals will be in effect there will be no fiscal implica-
tions to state or local government as a result of the
repeals.
Dr. Beverly J. Bardsley, policy development director,
and Mr. Bennett have also determined that for each
year of the first five years the repeals are in effect the
public benefit anticipated as a result of the repeals will
be deletion of obsolete statutory material. There is noTRD 832949
