| TO: | Honorable Byron Cook, Chair, House Committee on State Affairs |
| FROM: | John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB3801 by Davis, Sarah (Relating to the exception of certain personal information from disclosure under the public information law.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Government Code related to the Public Information Act to provide that the personal information of an employee can be publically disclosed only if the employee chooses to allow its release in accordance with related statutory provisions. The bill would add personal cellular telephone numbers and personal e-mail addresses to the list of personal employee information protected from public disclosure at the request of an employee. The bill would except the date of birth of a living person from public disclosure but not classify the information as confidential.
This analysis assumes that any costs associated with implementing the bill's provisions could be met with existing resources.
The bill would apply only to a request for information that is received on or after the effective date. The bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
