House Bill 962 amends the Education Code to exempt a purchase, acquisition, or license of library goods and services for a library operated as a part of a junior college district from the requirement that school district and junior college district purchasing contracts valued at $25,000 or more over a 12-month period be made under the method, of several methods enumerated in statute, that provides the best value. The bill clarifies a junior college district's authority to acquire library goods and services, authorizing a junior college district to purchase, license, or otherwise acquire library goods and services in any manner authorized by law for the purchase, license, or acquisition of library goods and services by a public senior college or university. The bill expands the definition of "library goods and services."
