Terms Used In Texas Government Code 815.212
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Written: includes any representation of words, letters, symbols, or figures. See Texas Government Code 311.005
(c) The executive director or the executive director’s designee shall prepare and maintain a written policy statement to assure implementation of a program of equal employment opportunity under which all personnel transactions are made without regard to race, color, disability, sex, religion, age, or national origin. The policy statement must include:
(1) personnel policies, including policies relating to recruitment, evaluation, selection, appointment, training, and promotion of personnel;
(2) a comprehensive analysis of the retirement system’s work force that meets federal and state guidelines;
(3) procedures by which a determination can be made of significant underuse in the retirement system’s work force of all persons for whom federal or state guidelines encourage a more equitable balance; and
(4) reasonable methods to appropriately address those areas of significant underuse.
(d) A policy statement prepared under Subsection (c) must cover an annual period, be updated at least annually, and be filed with the governor’s office.
