Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 625 amends the Government Code to exempt from public availability under the open records law information that is submitted by a potential vendor or contractor who applies for certification as a historically underutilized or disadvantaged business. The information may be disclosed to another Texas state or local governmental entity, and then only to verify the applicant's status as a historically underutilized or disadvantaged business or to conduct a study of a purchasing program established for such businesses.
