A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to access to certain law enforcement, corrections, and
prosecutorial records under the public information law.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 552.108, Government Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
(d) Information described by Subsection (a)(2) or an
internal record or notation described by Subsection (b)(2) is not
excepted from the requirements of Section 552.021 in response to a
written request for the information made by:
(1) a person who is the subject of the information,
record, or notation; or
(2) if the person described by Subdivision (1) is
deceased, the person's spouse, child, or parent, an administrator
of the person's estate, or any of their attorneys.
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act to Section
552.108, Government Code, apply only to a request for information
that is received by a governmental body or an officer or employee of
a governmental body on or after the effective date of this Act. A
request for information that was received before the effective date
of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the request
was received, and the former law is continued in effect for that
purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021.
