House Bill 4345 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to grant immunity from civil liability to a charitable organization, or an employee, volunteer, or independent contractor of the organization, for any good faith act to disclose to an individual's current or prospective employer information reasonably believed to be true about an allegation that an individual employed by or serving as a volunteer or independent contractor for the charitable organization or its associated charitable organizations engaged in sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, or certain sexual offenses. An individual is not immune from civil or criminal liability for disclosing the individual's own conduct or for acting in bad faith or with a malicious purpose in making a disclosure.
