Relating to investigations conducted and actions brought by the attorney general under the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983.

SB 2417 modifies Texas law to protect the Texas Attorney General’s internal records during antitrust investigations under the 1983 Act. It designates interview notes taken during investigations as confidential "attorney work product," shielding them from public disclosure under Texas law. The bill also states that when the Attorney General files an antitrust lawsuit, state agencies, legislators, and other state entities are not required to produce documents they hold, as the Attorney General is deemed to lack control over those materials for discovery purposes. These changes apply specifically to cases brought by the Attorney General under the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
