Relating to the applicability of competitive bidding requirements
to expenditures for certain municipal utility facility
relocations.
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 2863 would exempt expenditures for the relocation of municipally owned utility facilities from competitive bidding requirements if the relocation is necessary as the result of construction of a state transportation project and is performed by the entity or the contractor procured by the state to construct said project.
Texas Action remains neutral on HB 2863 as it does not affect our liberty principles.
