Texas HB5361 modifies contract termination notice requirements and allows the Department of Family and Protective Services to bypass competitive.

Texas HB5361 amends the Family Code to change notice requirements for contract terminations between the Department of Family and Protective Services and single source continuum contractors. The bill specifies that a contractor must notify the department 180 days before terminating a contract, while the department must notify the contractor 180 days before terminating. Additionally, if a contract is terminated, the department can enter into a new contract with a different contractor without following competitive bidding, advertising, or proposal evaluation requirements.
