House Bill 26

House Author:  Delisi

Effective:  6-17-05

Senate Sponsor:  Zaffirini


            Previous law required the Department of Information Resources to both establish and manage the electronic infrastructure of an electronic marketplace. House Bill 26 amends the Government Code to reassign the function of establishing the electronic infrastructure to the Texas Building and Procurement Commission. The bill requires each state agency, excluding certain higher education entities, to provide copies of each major contract entered into by the agency and each request for proposal or other solicitation for major contract to the commission for posting on the electronic procurement marketplace. The bill also provides for how the information is to be organized and presented and what information is required to be accessible to governmental entities and to the public.
