BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 252.022, Local Government Code, is | ||
amended by adding Subsection (c-1) to read as follows: | ||
(c-1) This chapter does not apply to an expenditure for the | ||
relocation or adjustment of a municipally owned utility facility if | ||
the relocation or adjustment: | ||

state transportation project; and | ||
(2) is performed by the entity procured by the state to | ||
construct the state transportation project or a subcontractor of | ||
that entity. | ||
SECTION 2. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), the | ||
change in law made by this Act applies only to an expenditure under | ||
a contract entered into on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
(b) An expenditure under a contract for which a request for | ||
bids, proposals, offers, or qualifications or a similar | ||
solicitation was made 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 immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
