IN RE:
HB1104 by Raymond (Relating to exempting the procurement of services for victims of family violence from competitive bidding requirements.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code and Human Resources Code to exempt the procurement of services for victims of family violence from the competitive bidding requirements of health and human service agencies. The bill would also require the Health and Human Services Commission to consult with a statewide family violence organization when procuring contracts for those services.
The Department of Family and Protective Services and the Health and Human Services Commission do not anticipate a significant fiscal impact as a result of complying with the provisions of the bill.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise it would take effect September 1, 2015.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
