HB 3674 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the persons who may request an attorney general opinion.

HB 3674 clarifies who can formally request legal opinions from Texas's Attorney General. It updates the law to specify that requests may be made by the governor, lieutenant governor, state department heads, leaders of penal or charitable institutions (like hospitals), state board heads, university regents, legislative committee members, county auditors, and river authority chairmen. The bill does not create new rights but streamlines the process by explicitly listing eligible requesters. This procedural change takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects state officials and institutions seeking official legal guidance.
