The Department of State Health Services (department) proposed
amendments to 25 TAC §97.63, concerning immunization requirements in Texas elementary and secondary schools, in the January 16,
2015, issue of the Texas Register (40 TexReg 319). Due to a Texas
Register staff error, rule language in §97.63(2)(B)(iii)(II) and (vi)(II)
on page 322 was inadvertently bracketed and struck-through. That
language will be retained in the adopted rule. The corrected rule
language reads as follows:
(iii) MMR.
[(I) For the SY 2008 - 2009 through the end of any summer session
of the SY 2008 - 2009, students are required to have two doses of a
measles-containing vaccine, and one dose each of rubella vaccine and
mumps vaccine.]
[(II)] Beginning SY 2009 - 2010, students are required to have two
doses of MMR vaccine with the first dose received on or after the first
birthday for the following grades and school years:

(Editor's note: In accordance with Texas Government Code,
§2002.014, which permits the omission of material which is "cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient," the charts are not
included in the print version of the Texas Register. The charts are
available in the on-line HTML version of the January 23, 2015, issue
of the Texas Register.)
[(I) For the SY 2008 - 2009 through the end of any summer session of
the SY 2008 - 2009, upon entry into kindergarten through third grade,
two doses of hepatitis A vaccine are required for students attending a
school located in a high incidence geographic area as designated by
the department. The first dose shall be administered on or after the second birthday. A current list of geographic areas, for which hepatitis
A is mandated for this time period, is avail-able at www.ImmunizeTexas.com, or by mail request at Department of State Health Services,
P.O. Box 149347, Austin Texas 78714-9347.]
Section 745.651 of this title (relating to What types of criminal convictions may affect a person's ability to be present at an operation?) states
that the three charts listed in subsection (a) of the section will be updated annually and published every January in the Texas Register as an
"In Addition" document. The three charts are entitled: (1) Licensed or
Certified Child Care Operations: Criminal History Requirements; (2)
Foster or Adoptive Placements: Criminal History Requirements; and
(3) Registered Child Care Homes and Listed Family Homes: Criminal
History Requirements. Each chart has three parts to it: an introduction
that explains the types of operations each chart covers, defines certain
terms used in the chart, and clarifies certain assumptions; a Table of
Contents; and the actual chart.
[(II)] For SY 2009 - 2010, students are required to have two doses
of hepatitis A vaccine with the first dose received on or after the first

definition for "Risk Evaluation"; (3) clarifying that effective March 1,
2015, a person currently on parole for any felony offense not otherwise
barrable must have an approved risk evaluation prior to being present
at an operation; (4) adding the Penal Code, Title 8, Offenses Against
Public Administration to the charts; (5) strengthening the Risk Evaluation requirements for Penal Code, Title 9, Offenses Against Public

Notice of Availability: Final Environmental Impact Statement
(Final EIS) State Highway 45 Southwest in Travis and Hays
Counties, Texas
Pursuant to Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, §2.108, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is advising the public of the availability of the Final EIS for the proposed construction of State Highway 45 Southwest (SH 45SW) in Travis and Hays Counties, Texas.
The project would construct a four-lane, limited access toll road. The
project limits extend from State Loop 1 (MoPac) to Farm-to-Market
Road (FM) 1626, a distance of approximately four miles.
The purpose of the project is to improve system connectivity, local mobility, and travel times, while providing an efficient alternative route to
congested local roadways in northern Hays and southern Travis Counties. The social, economic, and environmental impacts of the project
have been analyzed in the Final EIS.
The Final EIS further studies the build alternative proposed in the Draft
EIS and the no-build alternative, and identifies the build alternative as
the preferred alternative. The preferred alternative is investigated at a
higher level of detail in the Final EIS to facilitate the development of
mitigation measures and to comply with other regulatory requirements.
The preferred alternative would consist of a limited access toll facility
on new location and would include four 12-foot-wide lanes, 10-footwide outside shoulders, and four-foot-wide inside shoulders within a
pre-existing state-owned right-of-way that varies between 300 and 600
feet. The preferred alternative includes a 10-foot-wide bicycle and
pedestrian shared-use path along the entire length of the project. The
preferred alternative would not require the acquisition of any additional
right-of-way.

Pursuant to Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, §2.108, the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is advising the public of the
availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS)
concerning the proposed construction of State Highway 249 Extension
(SH 249) in Montgomery and Grimes Counties, Texas. The project
would construct a four-lane, limited access toll road. The project limits
extend from Farm-to-Market Road (FM) 1774 in Pinehurst to FM 1774
north of Todd Mission, a distance of approximately 15 miles.
The purpose of the proposed SH 249 Extension is to efficiently link
the suburban communities and major roadways, enhance mobility and
safety, and respond to population growth and residential development
in the area. The social, economic, and environmental impacts of the
project have been analyzed in the Draft EIS. The Draft EIS studies four
build alternatives, the no build alternative, and identifies the B/C alternative as the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative would
consist of a limited access toll facility on new location and would typically include four 12-foot-wide lanes, 10-foot-wide outside shoulders,
and 4-foot-wide inside shoulders within a 400-foot right-of-way. The
Preferred Alternative would require the acquisition of 727 acres of additional right-of-way.
Although the Draft EIS identifies a Preferred Alternative, the final
selection of the Preferred Alternative would occur only after a public
comment period including a public hearing, consideration of comments, and evaluation of environmental effects.
