	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to an interlocal contract between a governmental entity
	and a purchasing cooperative to purchase roofing materials or
	services.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 791.011, Government Code, is amended by
	adding Subsections (h-1) and (h-2) to read as follows:
	(h-1) In this subsection, "roofing materials or services"
	includes materials or services for repair or replacement of a roof.
	An interlocal contract between a governmental entity and a
	purchasing cooperative may not be used to purchase roofing
	materials or services from a person who provided consulting
	services to the cooperative on the contract, including providing
	specifications for bids on the contract. This prohibition also
	applies to:
	(1) a person that is an agent, subsidiary, or parent
	company of the person who consulted with the cooperative; or
	(2) a person related in the second degree of
	consanguinity or affinity to a person who consulted with the
	cooperative.
	(h-2) The prohibition under Subsection (h-1) does not apply
	to a renewal of a contract based on a request for proposal
	submitted, or substantially similar to a request for proposal
	submitted, before October 1, 2013, if the contract is renewed
	before October 1, 2014. This subsection expires October 1, 2014.
	SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act to Section
	791.011, Government Code, applies only to an interlocal contract or
	an amendment to, supplement to, or waiver of a provision of a
	contract made on or after the effective date of this Act. An
	interlocal contract or an amendment to, supplement to, or waiver of
	a provision of a contract made before the effective date of this Act
	is governed by the law in effect when the contract or amendment,
	supplement, or waiver was made, and the former law is continued for
	that purpose.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect October 1, 2013.
