SECTION 1. Sections 403.039(a) and (b), Government Code, |

|
|
system,] to each person[, other than a state employee,] who |
|
supplies property or services to the state for compensation or |
|
reimbursement. |
|
(b) The Texas Identification Number system shall be used by |
|
each state agency as the primary identification system for |
|
persons[, other than state employees,] who supply property or |
|
services to the agency for compensation or reimbursement. The |
|
agency may assign secondary numbers if the secondary numbering |
