Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending
Title 7, Part 4
The Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending (SML), on behalf of the Finance Commission of Texas (commission), publishes notice of its intent to review and consider for readoption, readoption with amendments, or repeal by the commission, 7 TAC Part 4, Chapter 75, Savings Banks.
The review will be conducted in accordance with Government Code §2001.039. During the review, SML will assess whether the reasons for initially adopting the rules continue to exist. Each rule will be reviewed to determine whether it is obsolete, reflects current policy considerations and procedures of SML, and whether it is in compliance with Government Code Chapter 2001.
Written comments regarding the rule review and whether the reasons for initially adopting the rules under review continue to exist should be sent to Iain A. Berry, General Counsel, at 2601 North Lamar Blvd., Suite 201, Austin, Texas 78705-4294, or by email to rules.comments@sml.texas.gov. Comments must be received within 30 days after publication of this notice. Any proposed changes to the rules resulting from rule review will be published in the Proposed Rules section of the Texas Register and will be open for public comment at that time, prior to potential adoption by the commission.
