Senate Bill 212 amends and repeals provisions of the Human Resources Code and the Government Code to abolish the Texas Council on Purchasing from People with Disabilities, transfer all powers and duties of the council to the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), and subject the authority of TWC to administer and oversee the program for purchasing from people with disabilities to the Texas Sunset Act. The bill provides for the establishment of an advisory committee to assist TWC in establishing performance goals for the program and criteria for certifying a community rehabilitation program for participation in the program.
