Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to disclosure under the public information law of certain contact information of a notary public that is maintained by the secretary of state.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 552.11765 of the Texas Government Code to modify disclosure rules for certain personal contact information. Currently, personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for license holders is kept confidential. The bill specifically creates an exception for notary public contact information, allowing the secretary of state to disclose the home address, home telephone number, and electronic mail address of notaries appointed under Subchapter A, Chapter 406. This means that while personal contact information for most license holders remains protected, notary public contact details can now be publicly shared. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025. This change aims to increase transparency for notary public contact information while maintaining privacy protections for other licensed professionals.
