relating to an exception from disclosure under the public | ||
information law for certain personal information of an applicant | ||
for an appointment by the governor. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 552, Government Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 552.158 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 552.158. EXCEPTION: CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL | ||
INFORMATION REGARDING APPLICANT FOR APPOINTMENT BY GOVERNOR. The | ||
following information obtained by the governor or senate in | ||
connection with an applicant for an appointment by the governor is | ||
excepted from the requirements of Section 552.021: | ||
(1) the applicant's home address; | ||
(2) the applicant's home telephone number; and | ||
(3) the applicant's social security number. | ||
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
a request for information that is received by a governmental body or | ||
an officer for public information 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 immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
