|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 2054.113(c), Government Code, is amended |

|
(c) Before a state agency may contract with a third party |
|
|
for Internet application development that duplicates a state |
|
|
electronic Internet portal function, including a function of a |
|
|
native mobile application, the state agency must notify the |
|
|
department of its intent to bid for such services at the same time |
|
|
that others have the opportunity to bid. The department may exempt a |
|
|
state agency from this section if it determines the agency has fully |
|
|
complied with Section 2054.111. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|

|
|
is governed by the law as it existed immediately before the |
|
|
effective date of this Act, and that law is continued in effect for |
|
|
that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
