Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 86(R)

Senate Bill 124

Senate Author:  West

Effective:  Vetoed

House Sponsor:  Sherman, Sr.

            Senate Bill 124 amends the County Purchasing Act, Local Government Code, to authorize a county commissioners court to require submission of bids or proposals under the act through electronic transmission.

            Governor's Reason for Veto: "Senate Bill 124 would have allowed commissioners courts to create a patchwork of bidding requirements, with some counties accepting hard‑copy bids and others insisting on electronic bids. This would lay a trap for the unwary bidder. If the Legislature prefers electronic bidding, it should pursue consistency across the State."
