BILL ANALYSIS S.B. 1195 By: Ellis State Affairs Committee Report (Unamended) BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interested parties note that previously enacted legislation contained a provision establishing that, in a contract for the acquisition of goods or services by an institution of higher education, any provision required by law would be considered to be part of the executed contract, but did not amend the governing statute for the acquisition of goods or services by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center accordingly. S.B. 1195 seeks to conform the law relating to the acquisition of goods or services by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center to such law that applies to other institutions of higher education. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution. ANALYSIS S.B. 1195 amends the Education Code to establish that a provision required by applicable law to be included in any contract for the acquisition of goods or services to which The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is a party is considered to be a part of the executed contract without regard to whether the provision appears on the face of the contract or whether the contract includes any provision to the contrary. EFFECTIVE DATE On passage, or, if the bill does not receive the necessary vote, September 1, 2013.
