House Bill 3130 amends the Government Code to prohibit a governmental body from selling or releasing certain identifying information of a person who holds, previously held, or is an applicant for an occupational license issued by the governmental body and who notifies the governmental body that the person chooses to restrict public access to the information on the basis that the person is a current or former client of a family violence shelter center, victims of trafficking shelter center, or sexual assault program or is a survivor of family violence, domestic violence, or sexual assault. The bill requires the Office of the Attorney General to prepare and make available online a form to be used to make that notification and authorizes a governmental body to redact the applicable information from a response to a request for a list or directory of license holders, former license holders, or license applicants without having to request an attorney general opinion.
