5. Conflict of Interest Questionnaire:

Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code requires a vendor who enters or seeks to enter into a

contract for the sale of or purchase of real property, goods, or services with a local governmental entity

or local government officer thereof to file a conflicts of interest disclosure questionnaire with the

governmental entity prescribed.

A Conflict of Interest Questionnaire Form (CIQ) must be submitted not later than the seventh (7th)

business day after the date the vendor begins discussion, negotiation, applies or response to a request for

proposal or bids, or correspondence in writing related to a potential contract with the local governmental

entity.

6. Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):

In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the

Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain

contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the

governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the

governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state

agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the

contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a

contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016.

The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe

the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission’s website. The

commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The

commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law.

Filing Process:

On January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be

used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on

Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will

contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed

copy of the form and have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing

must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into

the contract.

The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s filing

application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th

day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. The commission will post the completed

Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity

or state agency.

Information regarding how to use the filing application will be available on this site by January 1, 2016.

FOR HUNT COUNTY

7. Organization Name – House Bill 89 Verification:

House Bill 89, effective September 1, 2017, amended the Texas Government Code to add Chapter 2270,

Prohibition on Contracts with Companies Boycotting Israel. Effective September 1, 2017, a state agency

and a political subdivision (which includes a county) may not enter in a contract with a company for

goods or services unless the contract contains written verification from the company that: (i) it does not

Boycott Israel; and (ii) will not Boycott Israel during the term of the contract.

Pursuant to Section 2270.001, Texas Government Code:

1. “Boycott Israel” means refusing to deal with, terminating business activities with, or otherwise taking

any action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations

specifically with Israel, or with a person or entity doing business in Israel or in an Israeli-controlled

territory, but does not include an action made for ordinary business purposes; and

2. “Company” means a for-profit sole proprietorship, organization, association, corporation, partnership,

joint venture, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or any limited liability company,

including a wholly owned subsidiary, majority-owned subsidiary, parent company or affiliate of those

entities or business associations that exist to make a profit.

Pursuant to Section 2270.001, Texas Government Code:

(a) This section applies only to a contract that:

1. Is between a governmental entity and a company with 10 or more full-time employees; and

2. Has a value of $100,000.00 or more that is to be paid wholly or partly from public funds of the

governmental entity.

8. Changes to Form 1295

Changes to the law requiring certain businesses to file a Form 1295 are in effect for contracts entered into or

amended on or after January 1, 2018. The changes exempt businesses from filing a Form 1295 for certain

types of contracts and replace the need for a completed Form 1295 to be notarized. Instead, the person

filing a 1295 needs to complete the unsworn declaration.

What type of contracts are exempt from the Form 1295 filing requirement under the amended law?

The amended law adds to the list of types of contract exempt from the Form 1295 filing requirement.

A completed Form 1295 is not required for:

• a sponsored research contract of an institution of higher education;
