Senate Bill
1367 amends the Election Code, Government Code, Tax Code, and Transportation
Code to provide protections for the sensitive information of full‑time
employees at county courthouses, the Office of Court Administration of the
Texas Judicial System, and the Texas Indigent Defense Commission. Specifically,
the bill, among other provisions, allows these court employees to omit their
address from election registration lists and on their driver's licenses and
also allows them to withhold their personal information on publicly accessible
government databases and to keep their tax form personal information private.
Governor's Reason for
Veto: "While Senate Bill No. 1367 is important, it is simply not as
important as cutting property taxes. At this time, the legislature must
concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered
at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
