TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION

OVERVIEW

In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added Section 2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016.

The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the Commission’s website. (See attached Rules.) The Commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The Commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law.

Filing Process:

By January 1, 2016, the commission will make available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form and have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.

The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. The commission will post the completed Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity or state agency.

Information regarding how to use the filing application will be available on this site by January 1, 2016.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTED PARTIES (FORM 1295)

1. WHO IS REQUIRED TO FILE FORM 1295?

In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties (Form 1295) to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The Texas Ethics Commission has adopted rules requiring the business entity to file Form 1295 electronically with the Commission.

(3) the governing body does not participate in the selection of the business entity with which the contract is entered into.

1 T.A.C. § 46.1(c).

3. CAN I FILE FORM 1295 ON PAPER?

No. A business entity must file Form 1295 electronically with the Texas Ethics Commission using the online filing application. See Question #4 for information about logging in to the online filing application.

4. HOW DO I LOGIN TO THE FILING APPLICATION?

If this is your first time logging in, you will need to create an account in order to register and receive a password. Once you have registered, you will receive an email containing a password setup link. Click on the link to set your password. After you have established an account, you will use your email address, password, and user type (either “Business Entity” or “Governmental Entity/State Agency”) to log in to the filing application. Watch our short videos on "Logging In The First Time" on the Form 1295 File Reports Electronically web page.

5. IS THERE A MOBILE VERSION?

The mobile version is not complete at this time, but will be available soon.

6. HELP! I FORGOT MY PASSWORD.

If you forgot your password, you can reset your password by clicking the “Forgot Password?” link on the filing application login screen. Once you enter your email address and filer type and successfully answer the security questions, you will receive an email containing a password reset link. If you cannot successfully answer your security questions, you will need to call the Texas Ethics Commission at (512)463-5800.

7. CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS?

You can have a separate account associated with each unique email address. However, once an account is established, there is no way to combine it with another account. You can only view those certificates created under your own unique email address. If you want to view all your certificates together in one account, we highly encourage you to setup a specific email address to register your account and use that email address each time you login to the filing application.

8. HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A FORM 1295?

A state agency or other governmental entity must acknowledge the receipt of the filed Form 1295 not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. Once a Form 1295 is acknowledged, it will be posted to the Texas Ethics Commission’s website within seven business days.

9. DO I SEND A COPY OF THE NOTARIZED FORM 1295 TO THE TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION?

No. Do not send a paper copy of the notarized Form 1295 to the Texas Ethics Commission. If you are with a state agency or other governmental entity, you will login to the filing application and acknowledge receipt of Form 1295 electronically. See Question #4 for more information about logging into the filing application.

10. WHAT IF I ACCIDENTALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE WRONG FORM 1295?

Before you acknowledge a Form 1295, you should double check that you are acknowledging the correct one. If you acknowledge a Form 1295 in error, you cannot undo the certification. Contact the Texas Ethics Commission at 512-463-5800 and ask to speak with Technical Support.

11. THE FILING APPLICATION SAYS THIS FORM 1295 HAS ALREADY BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED. WHAT DO I

DO NOW?

First, you should double check that you are entering the correct certification number. If you still receive an error, contact the Texas Ethics Commission at 512-463-5800 and ask to speak to technical support.

12. I SUBMITTED A FORM 1295 AND REALIZED THERE IS AN ERROR. CAN I STILL EDIT IT?

No. Once a Form 1295 has been submitted by the business entity, it can no longer be edited. If you found an error, you will need to start a new certificate and re-enter all the required information.

13. WHAT IF THE CONTRACT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FORM 1295 IS NEVER FULFILLED?

All certificates that are filed with the Texas Ethics Commission and acknowledged by a governmental entity will be posted to the Commission’s website regardless of the eventual outcome of the contract associated with the certificate.

14. WHY AM I NOT RECEIVING EMAIL MESSAGES FROM THE TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION?

All password reset links will be sent to the email address you provided when you registered. This should be an email address that is current and that you check often. You can verify and update your email address right after you log in. Also, be sure to “whitelist” or mark as “safe” emails that come from “do-not-reply@ethics.state.tx.us” and be sure to check your Spam or Junk folder for any missing messages.

ADVISE TO BIDDERS

20.01 (T). Upon compliance with certain conditions, this ruling provides for exemption from this tax of materials incorporated into work done for an exempt agency under a Contract. The City is an exempt agency.

Any Bidder may elect to exclude this sales tax from his bid. If the Bidder submitting the lowest acceptable bid for performing the work on this project elects to comply with the above ruling on any bid item included in this Contact by obtaining any necessary permit or permits from the State Comptroller allowing the purchase of material for incorporation into this project without having to pay the Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax at the time of purchase, he shall upon Award of Contract submit a statement in satisfactory form in which his bid prices to the City for materials are listed separately from all other charges, either by bid item or by total as required by the comptroller. This statement shall be included in and made part of the Contract.

The City will furnish the Contractor with its exemption certificate for those materials incorporated in the project for which the above required statement is submitted.

The City will make no further allowance for and will make no price adjustment above or below the originally bid unit price on account of this tax. It shall be the Contractor’s sole responsibility, if he elects to exclude the sales tax from his bid, to comply with the aforementioned Ruling No. 9 and with any other applicable rules, regulation, or laws pertaining to the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax which may now or at any time during the performance of this Contract be in effect, and the City shall have no responsibility for any sales or use tax which the Contractor may be required to pass as a result of his failure or the City’s failure to comply with said rules, regulations or laws, or as the result of the performance of the Contract or any part thereof by the Contractor.

Bidders are cautioned that materials which are not permanently incorporated into the work are not eligible for exemption and are not to be included in the statements as “Materials” (example: fuel, lubricants, tools, forming materials, etc.).
