Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 73 amends the Local Government Code to allow a county judicial officer or a candidate for a county judicial office to file the required financial statement with the Texas Ethics Commission instead of with the county clerk and requires the officer or candidate to notify the county clerk that they are filing the financial statement with the commission. The act requires, on the request of a county judicial officer or candidate, that the filing entity remove the names of the filer's children before making the statement available to the public.
