relating to contracts for the housing of inmates released on parole | ||
or to mandatory supervision. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 508, Government Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 508.120 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 508.120. CONTRACT WITH PRIVATE VENDOR FOR HOUSING. | ||
Each contract that the department enters into with a private vendor | ||
for the operation of a facility to house releasees must include a | ||
provision that: | ||
(1) requires the department to provide a written | ||
warning to the vendor not later than the 15th day following the end | ||
of a fiscal quarter in which the vendor has 10 or more instances of | ||
noncompliance with the contract; and | ||
(2) provides for the automatic termination of the | ||
contract on the second fiscal quarter in which the vendor has 10 or | ||
more instances of noncompliance during a three-year period. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a | ||
contract entered into or renewed on or after the effective date of | ||
this Act. A contract entered into or renewed before the effective | ||
date of this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the | ||
contract was entered into or renewed, and the former law is | ||
continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
