H.B. No. 3130
AN ACT
relating to state agency contracts for Internet application
development.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 2054.113(c), Government Code, is amended
to read as follows:
(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
to a contract entered into on or after the effective date of this
Act. A contract entered into before the effective date of this Act
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.
