Summary

Chapters 2271, 2274 and 2276 go. Covered companies can again contract with the state.

This bill repeals three chapters of the Government Code, 2271, 2274 and 2276, that bar the state from contracting with companies that boycott or discriminate against certain entities. It touches state agencies, companies seeking state contracts, and the comptroller's list of companies ineligible for certain state agreements. Once it takes effect, companies covered by the repealed chapters can again contract with the state, and the comptroller's eligibility rule points only to the remaining Chapters 808, 809, 2270 and 2275.
