House Bill 4046 amends the Education Code to establish that student record information is confidential if it is information in a student record at an educational institution funded wholly or partly by state revenue, except for such information that is authorized by federal law, and to authorize the institution to redact such confidential information from disclosure as public information under state public information law without requesting a decision from the attorney general. The bill requires an educational institution funded wholly or partly by state revenue, if an applicant for admission or a parent or legal guardian of a minor applicant to the institution requests information in the applicant's record, to disclose any information that is related to an applicant's application for admission and was provided to the institution by the applicant.
