Prohibition Boycott of Firearm Entity or Firearm Trade Association
This form must be completed and submitted with the bid/proposal
Effective September 1, 2021, House Bill 19 amended Texas Government Code by adding Chapter 2274. Chapter 2274 prohibits a political subdivision (city, appraisal district, transportation authority) from entering a contract with a value of $100,000 or more that is to be paid from public funds with a for-profit company excluding sole proprietorships with more than 10 full-time employees for goods and services unless the contract contains a written verification from the company that it: (i) does not have a practice, policy, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association; and (ii) will not discriminate during the term of the contract against a firearm entity or firearm trade association. The prohibition does not apply to a governmental entity that contracts with a sole-source provider; or when it does not receive any bids from a company that is able to provide the required certification.
Company is defined under Section 2274.001 to mean “a for-profit organization, association, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or limited liability company, including a wholly owned subsidiary, majority-owned subsidiary, parent company, or affiliate of those entities or business associations, that exists to make a profit.”
"I, __________________(Name of certifying official), the ____________ (title or position of certifying official) of __________________(name of company), verifies that it does not have a practice, policy, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association; and (ii) will not discriminate during the term of the contract against a firearm entity or firearm trade association. This section only applies if: (i) Professional (or Contractor) has ten (10) or more fulltime employees and (ii) this Agreement has a value of $100,000.00 or more to be paid under the terms of this Agreement; and does not apply: (i) if Professional (or Contractor) is a sole proprietor, a non-profit entity, or a governmental entity; (ii) to a contract with a sole-source provider; or (iii) to a contract for which none of the bids from a company were able to provide the required certification.
