House Bill 1728 amends the Education Code, the Government Code, and the Local Government Code, in provisions of law relating to energy savings performance contracts, to authorize the board of trustees of a public school district, the governing board of an institution of higher education, a state agency, or the governing body of a local government to use any available money, other than money borrowed from the state, to pay the provider of the energy or water conservation measures under such a contract. The bill specifies that the previously described entities are not required to pay for such costs solely out of the savings realized by the entity under the contract and authorizes the entity to contract with the provider to perform work that is related to, connected with, or otherwise ancillary to the measures identified in the scope of the contract.
