Relating to procurement procedures for certain municipal housing authorities.

SB 2602 requires certain Texas municipal housing authorities to follow competitive procurement procedures when spending above the federal simplified acquisition threshold (currently $100,000 under 48 C.F.R. §2.101). It directly affects municipal housing authorities covered under Section 392.0162 of the Local Government Code. The bill mandates competitive bidding for purchases exceeding this threshold, aligning their procurement rules with federal standards for larger expenditures. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, applying only to purchases made on or after that date.
