Sec. 280.004. REGIONAL BUSINESS CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS. (a) Any combination of counties, municipalities, special districts, or other political subdivisions, by ordinance, resolution, rule, order, or other means, may agree to establish a regional business certification program to be used in connection with the political subdivisions' purchasing procedures.
(b) A consolidated entity administering a program established under this section may adopt rules, regulations, or other provisions that are designed to streamline and centralize the certification process of qualified businesses, including small and emerging businesses, and that allow businesses, as a result of being certified by the program, to participate in the contracting and procurement process of any member entity involved in the regional business certification program.
(c) The purpose of this section is to permit participating political subdivisions the greatest possible flexibility to organize a regional business certification program most suitable to address the region's problems related to business certification.
