Senate Bill 262 amends the Government Code to require the Department of Information Resources (DIR), in cooperation with state agencies and with respect to the purchase of commodity items through the list of commodity items available for purchase through DIR, to periodically access the risk to the state in the purchase of those items and, based on that risk assessment and as DIR considers necessary to ensure accuracy, monitor and verify the purchase transaction reports of the monthly sales of those items submitted by vendors. The bill requires a state agency or local government contracting for the purchase of an automated information system to comply with the requirements applicable to a state agency contracting to purchase a commodity item in relation to that DIR list.
