DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTED PARTIES
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 process as implemented by the
Commission is as follows:
1. A business entity must use the application to enter the required
information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the form and a separate
certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number.
2. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy
of the form and have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295
and certification of filing must be filed with the city “at the time the
business entity submits the signed contract” to the city.
3. The city must notify the Commission, using the Commission’s filing
application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 and certification of
filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all
parties to the contract.
