Relating to an exemption from required disclosure of information related to the next of kin of deceased persons.

SB 2067 creates an exemption for government entities from publicly disclosing next of kin information of deceased individuals. It amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to exclude this information from mandatory public disclosure under Texas' public information laws (Chapter 552), while still allowing disclosure via subpoena or other legal authority. This bill directly affects government offices, hospitals, and funeral homes that handle public records requests. The exemption applies to requests received on or after the bill's effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate effect).
