Relating to the authority of the office of the attorney general to make certain examinations and inquiries.
HB 5468 requires businesses registered in Texas (including out-of-state companies operating in Texas) to allow the Attorney General to inspect their records upon written request. The Attorney General must specify the legal basis for the request, and businesses have 45 days to challenge it in court if they believe it's improper. Businesses that refuse access without valid legal grounds risk losing their right to operate in Texas, with their registration revoked. The bill establishes clear procedures for record inspections while minimizing disruption to business operations. It applies to all entities filing with the Texas Secretary of State.
