PART 9. TEXAS COMMISSION ON JAIL STANDARDS
CHAPTER 281. FOOD SERVICE
The Commission on Jail Standards adopts 37 TAC §281.5 concerning Staff Supervision as proposed in the March 10, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 1439) without changes. The rule will not be republished.
The adopted amendment will correct a reference to Texas Food Establishment Rules §228.33, which was repealed and moved during the 87th Legislative Session in 2021.
This change will help jailers to identify within the minimum jail standards the correct reference to the Food Establishment Rules. In a letter to the agency written October 26, 2022, Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner brought to the agency's attention the need for this change.
No comments were received.
The amendment is adopted under the authority of Government Code, Chapter 511, which authorizes the Texas Commission on Jail Standards to adopt reasonable rules and procedures establishing minimum standards for the construction, equipment, maintenance, and operation of county jails. This proposed change does not affect other rules or statutes.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on May 16, 2023.
