§ 81.016. CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES. (a) Before the

organization, or individual to provide direct services to persons
who are deaf or hard of hearing, the commission shall make
reasonable efforts to notify all potential service providers of the
availability and purpose of the contract or grant.
(b) The notice shall include a request that all interested
service providers submit within a specified period a contract or
grant proposal for the commission's consideration. The notice must

in determining which applicant will be awarded the contract or

under this section and shall award the contract or grant to the

the needed services. The commission may not award contracts or
grants to a former employee of the commission within two years after
the person's employment with the commission ceased.
(d) To ensure an equitable distribution of contract or grant
funds, the commission shall develop a formula, based on population
and region, to allocate those funds among the agencies,
organizations, or individuals that are awarded the contracts or
grants.
(e) The commission shall adopt rules to implement this
section.
