By: Geren H.R. No. 2573

R E S O L U T I O N
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of
Texas, 85th Legislature, Regular Session, 2017, That House Rule 13,
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to
resolve the differences on Senate Bill 533 (state agency
contracting and procurement) to consider and take action on the
following matter:
House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(2), is suspended to permit the
committee to omit text not in disagreement by omitting SECTION
13(a)(2) of the senate engrossment of Senate Bill 533 and the
corresponding section of the bill as the bill was amended by the
house, proposing transition language requiring the comptroller to
modify the contract management guide as required by Section
2262.051(i), Government Code, as that section is purportedly added
by Senate Bill 533.
Explanation: The omission of text is necessary to remove
from transition language in the bill a reference to a duty imposed
on the comptroller under Section 2262.051(i), Government Code, that
is not included in either the house or senate version of the bill.
