IN RE: | HB2048 by Uresti (Relating to certain online services and transactions involving state agencies.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill requires a state agency to notify the Department of Information Resources (DIR) and the TexasOnline Authority when it intends to contract with a third party for Internet application development that duplicates a TexasOnline function. The bill requires that a state agency must notify the TexasOnline Authority and DIR of a bid for such services at the same time that others have the opportunity to bid. The bill removes DIR’s authority to exempt a state agency from notifying DIR when the agency intends to contract for Internet application development that duplicates a TexasOnline function.
