§ 201.1526. DEVELOPMENT OF PROPOSED RULES REGARDING SCOPE 
OF PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC.  (a) This section applies to the 
process by which the board develops proposed rules under Section 
201.1525 before the proposed rules are published in the Texas 
Register and before the board complies with the rulemaking 
requirements of Chapter 2001, Government Code.  This section does 
not affect the duty of the board to comply with the rulemaking 
requirements of that law.
	(b)  The board shall establish methods under which the board, 
to the extent appropriate, will seek input early in the rule 
development process from the public and from persons who will be 
most affected by a proposed rule.  Methods must include identifying 
persons who will be most affected and soliciting, at a minimum, the 
advice and opinions of those persons.  Methods may include 
negotiated rulemaking, informal conferences, advisory committees, 
and any other appropriate method.
	(c)  A rule adopted by the board under Section 201.1525 may 
not be challenged on the grounds that the board did not comply with 
this section.  If the board was unable to solicit a significant 
amount of advice and opinion from the public or from affected 
persons early in the rule development process, the board shall 
state in writing the reasons why the board was unable to do so.
