A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
relating to certain contracts entered into by school districts for |
|
another entity to provide food services at one or more district |
|
schools. |
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Section 44.031, Education Code, is amended by |
|
adding Subsection (n) to read as follows: |
|
(n) A school district contract to which Subsection (a) |
|
applies under which the district contracts with another entity for |
|
that entity to manage or otherwise provide food services at one or |
|
more district schools must require that any other contract the |
|
entity makes in performance of its duties under the contract with |
|
the district and to which Subsection (a) would apply if the district |
|
were making the contract be made: |
|
(1) under the method listed by Subsection (a) that |
|
provides the best value to the entity and the district; |
|
(2) with consideration of the factors specified under |
|
Subsection (b) and, as applicable, under Subsection (b-1), in |
|
determining to whom to award the contract; and |
|
(3) as provided by Subsection (g). |
|
SECTION 2. Section 44.031(n), Education Code, as added by |
|
this Act, applies only to a contract entered into on or after the |
|
effective date of this Act by a school district with another entity |
|
for that entity to manage or otherwise provide food services at one |
|
or more district schools. A contract entered into before the |
|
effective date of this Act by a school district with another entity |
|
for that entity to manage or otherwise provide food services at one |
|
or more district schools is governed by the law in effect on the |
|
date the contract was entered into, and that law is continued in |
|
effect for that purpose. |
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
