H.B. No. 3088 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code by adding a new subsection to Section 11.0171, which grants the Parks and Wildlife Department the authority to procure goods and services related to items for resale. The new language specifies that the department may use any method approved by the commission to procure these goods and services, as long as the chosen method provides the best value to the department. This change aims to enhance the department's ability to meet its business needs and increase revenue potential.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate with significant support. The House approved the bill with a vote of 131 in favor and 4 against, while the Senate passed it unanimously with a vote of 31 to 0.
