TO: | Honorable Carlos Uresti, Chair, House Committee on Government Reform |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2048 by Uresti (Relating to certain online services and transactions involving state agencies.), As Introduced |
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, and that DIR be provided 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.
