IN RE:
HB3032 by Laney (Relating to purchasing preferences to Texas and United States products under certain state and local purchasing procedures.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This amends and adds language relating to purchasing preferences to Texas and United States products under certain state and local purchasing procedures.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Some local governmental entities near the borders of other states or countries may see increased costs because many do business with out-of-state or international vendors. The cities of Amarillo, Castle Hills, Goldthwaite, Kilgore, and Mesquite reported potential increased costs from $1,500 to $47,000 per fiscal year.Bexar and Harris counties reported similar potential cost increases.
