IN RE:	SB123 by Deuell (Relating to excepting from required disclosure under the public information law certain personal information maintained by a municipality that pertains to a minor.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would add Section 552.148 to the Government Code to except from public disclosure certain information about a minor (a person who is younger than 18 years of age) maintained by a municipality for the purposes related to participation by a minor in a recreational program or activity.

The bill would take effect immediately if it were to receive the required two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2007.

It is assumed any increase in workload for the Office of the Attorney General as a result of implementation of the bill could be absorbed within current resources.
