Relating to the public information law.
SB 2711 requires all Texas governmental bodies subject to public information laws to annually notify the Attorney General, by October 1, of their designated mailing and email addresses for receiving public records requests. The Attorney General must then create and maintain a public online database of these addresses on their website. This bill directly affects all local and state government entities that handle public information requests, streamlining how citizens locate official contact points. The bill takes effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote in both chambers, or September 1, 2025, if not.
