COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR S.B. No. 1113 By: Seliger
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. Subsection (n), Section 44.031, 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.
