Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 174 amends the Government Code to make social security number information on a marriage license application or on a document submitted with a marriage license application confidential and not disclosable by a county clerk who maintains such information. The confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions, however, apply only to marriage license applications filed on or after the bill's effective date. The bill requires a county clerk who receives an open records request for information in an affected marriage license application to first redact the social security number portion before releasing the rest of the information.
