|
|

AN ACT
|
|
|

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 791.011, Government Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsections (h-1) and (h-2) to read as follows: |
|
|
(h-1) In this subsection, "roofing materials or services" |
|
|
includes materials or services for repair or replacement of a roof. |
|
|
An interlocal contract between a governmental entity and a |
|
|
purchasing cooperative may not be used to purchase roofing |
|
|
materials or services from a person who provided consulting |
|
|
services to the cooperative on the contract, including providing |
|
|
specifications for bids on the contract. This prohibition also |
|

|
|
company of the person who consulted with the cooperative; or |
|
|
(2) a person related in the second degree of |
|
|
consanguinity or affinity to a person who consulted with the |
|
|
cooperative. |
|
|
(h-2) The prohibition under Subsection (h-1) does not apply |
|
|
to a renewal of a contract based on a request for proposal |
|
|

|
|
a provision of a contract made before the effective date of this Act |
|
|
is governed by the law in effect when the contract or amendment, |
