House Bill 1728 amends Health and Safety Code provisions relating to information contained in a municipal or county registry of dogs and cats, a rabies vaccination certificate, or a record compiled from one or more certificates that identifies or tends to identify the animal owner or the owner's address, telephone number, or other personally identifying information. The bill authorizes disclosure of registry, certificate, or record information to a person who, under a contract with a governmental entity, provides animal control services or animal registration services for that entity, provided that confidentiality is maintained. The bill provides that the information contained in a registry, certificate, or record may not include the social security number or the driver's license number of the animal owner.
