Relating to the applicability of competitive procurement requirements to certain county purchases.

HB 3036 modifies Texas county procurement rules by lowering the spending threshold requiring competitive bidding from $100,000 to $50,000 for most purchases. It also exempts purchases from a single supplier from competitive bidding requirements. These changes apply only to purchases made on or after September 1, 2025, with prior purchases governed by previous law. The bill directly affects county governments when making procurement decisions under the specified thresholds.
