         SECTION 1.  Subchapter D, Chapter 392, Local Government
  Code, is amended by adding Section 392.0566 to read as follows:
         Sec. 392.0566.  PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES FOR CERTAIN

  municipal housing authority described by Section 392.0162 is
  required to comply with competitive procurement procedures
