required by a governmental body to sign a confidentiality agreement 
under Subsection (b) may seek a decision as provided by Subsection 
(b-2) about whether the information covered by the confidentiality 
agreement is confidential under law.  A confidentiality agreement 
signed under Subsection (b) is void to the extent that the agreement 
covers information that is finally determined under Subsection 
(b-2) to not be confidential under law.
	(b-2)  The member, committee, or agency of the legislature 
may seek a decision from the attorney general about the matter.  The 
attorney general by rule shall establish procedures and deadlines 
for receiving information necessary to decide the matter and briefs 
from the requestor, the governmental body, and any other interested 
person.  The attorney general shall promptly render a decision 
requested under this subsection, determining whether the 
information covered by the confidentiality agreement is 
confidential under law, not later than the 45th business day after 
the date the attorney general received the request for a decision 
under this subsection.  The attorney general shall issue a written 
decision on the matter and provide a copy of the decision to the 
requestor, the governmental body, and any interested person who 
submitted necessary information or a brief to the attorney general 
about the matter.  The requestor or the governmental body may appeal 
a decision of the attorney general under this subsection to a Travis 
County district court.  A person may appeal a decision of the 
attorney general under this subsection to a Travis County district 
court if the person claims a proprietary interest in the 
information affected by the decision or a privacy interest in the 
information that a confidentiality law or judicial decision is 
designed to protect.
