Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1085 amends the Government Code to assign the Texas State Library and Archives Commission two new records management program responsibilities. It directs the commission to provide training and continuing education to state agency records management officers and, with the cooperation of the Department of Information Resources, to provide training to records management and information technology staff in electronic records management. The act provides that an agency employee qualifies for the position of records management officer only if he or she reports directly to the agency head or to the equivalent of a deputy executive director.
