Amend HB 3596, second reading engrossment, on page 1, by striking lines 8-12 and substituting the following: (e) Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, a local workforce development board shall enter into contracts with private vendors for the provision of workforce development services, including any service the provision of which is delegated to the board under Section 302.023, Labor Code. However, if a private vendor is unavailable, or if the contracts submitted by private vendors to provide services are not acceptable to the board, the board may contract with the Texas Workforce Commission for the provision of a workforce development service or to administer the competitive procurement process.
