Senate Bill 1368 amends the Government Code to clarify, for purposes of Texas public information law, the definition of "public information" and the types of media on which public information may be recorded. The bill requires a contract between a nongovernmental vendor and a state agency, board, commission, office, department, or other agency in the executive or legislative branch of government involving the exchange or creation of information that the state governmental entity collects, assembles, or maintains or has a right of access to be drafted in consideration of Texas public information law requirements and contain a provision that requires the vendor to make the information not otherwise excepted from disclosure under this law available in a specific format that is agreed upon in the contract and accessible by the public.
