Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1702 amends the Government Code to authorize a governor, in consultation with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, to designate an institution of higher education or other Texas archival institution as the repository for the governor's official records. The terms of any such alternative arrangement are to be recorded by the commission through a memorandum of understanding, deposit agreement, or other appropriate documentation. House Bill 1812, however, prevails over Senate Bill 1702. It repeals the provision that Senate Bill 1702 amends, and instead places identical gubernatorial authority elsewhere in the code.
