A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to certain motor vehicle records excepted from disclosure
under the Public Information Act.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subsection (c), Section 552.130, Government
Code, is amended to read as follows:
(c) Subject to Chapter 730, Transportation Code, a
governmental body may redact information described by Subsection
(a) [Subsections (a)(1) and (3)] from any information the
governmental body discloses under Section 552.021 without the
necessity of requesting a decision from the attorney general under
Subchapter G.
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, 2013.
