Relating to the confidentiality of certain information collected by certain local governments and airport governing boards.
SB 1841 makes specific personal information collected by local governments and airport authorities confidential, preventing disclosure under Texas public records laws. It directly affects airports, parking facilities, and local governments that collect data like names, license plates, payment details, parking timestamps, travel itineraries, and payment card numbers from users. The bill requires these entities to keep such information private rather than making it publicly accessible through standard transparency requests. This law, signed by the governor and effective September 1, 2025, updates Texas Transportation Code provisions to protect passenger data collected during airport visits and related services.
