Prohibition of Boycott Energy Companies

This form must be completed and submitted with the bid/proposal

Effective September 1, 2021, House Bill 13 amended the Texas Government Code by adding Chapter 809 and 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 boycott energy companies; and (ii) will not boycott energy companies during the term of the contract.

Company is defined under Texas Government Code Section 809.001 to mean “a for-profit sole proprietorship, 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.” Section

2274.001 (2) excludes sole proprietorships from the definition of “Company”.

The prohibition however does not apply to a governmental entity that determines the requirements of Subsection (b) are inconsistent with the governmental entity's constitutional or statutory duties related to the issuance, incurrence, or management of debt obligations or the deposit, custody, management, borrowing, or investment of funds.

"I, __________________(Name of certifying official), the ____________ (title or position of certifying official) of __________________(name of company), verifies that it does not Boycott Energy Companies and agrees that during the term of this Agreement will not Boycott Energy Companies as that term is defined in Texas Government Code Section 809.001, as amended. This section does not apply if Professional (or Contractor) is a sole proprietor, a non-profit entity, or a governmental entity; and 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.
