	Amend CSHB 300 (house committee report) by adding the 
following appropriately numbered SECTION to Article 4 of the bill 
and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of that article as appropriate:
	SECTION 4.____.  (a)  Section 2262.003, Government Code, is 
amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
	(c)  Notwithstanding Section 2262.001 or 2262.002, this 
section applies to contracts of the Texas Department of 
Transportation that relate to highway construction or highway 
engineering.
	(b)  The change in law made by this section applies only to a 
contract by the Texas Department of Transportation for which the 
solicitation of bids or proposals or similar expressions of 
interest is published on or after September 1, 2009.  A contract for 
which the solicitation of bids or proposals or similar expressions 
of interest was published before September 1, 2009, is governed by 
the law in effect on the date the Texas Department of Transportation 
first published the solicitation of bids or proposals or similar 
expressions of interest, and the former law is continued in effect 
for that purpose.
