A Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD) or
 other state-aid recipient may request a waiver to a standard or standards
 from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Community Justice Assistance
 Division (TDCJ CJAD) director. The TDCJ CJAD director may grant a
 waiver upon receipt, examination, and approval of the waiver request.
 The request for waiver shall include a plan to comply with the standard
 or standards by a certain date and an explanation why the CSCD is
 not currently in compliance with the standard or standards. When a
 determination is made that the CSCD is not in compliance with a standard
 or standards, the CSCD director shall immediately submit a written
 request for a waiver of the standard or standards to the TDCJ CJAD
 director. If the waiver is approved by the TDCJ CJAD director, the
 waiver shall become part of the audit record for compliance with that
 standard or standards.
