SECTION 1. Section 325.0115, Government Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) As part of the commission's review of an agency that |
|
|
licenses an occupation or profession, the commission and its staff |
|
|
shall determine whether the governing body of the agency being |
|
|
reviewed has made an evaluation regarding the type of personal |
|
|
information of license holders that the agency should make |
|
|
available on the agency's Internet website based on the following |
|
|
factors: |
|
|
(1) the type of information the public needs to file a |
|
|
complaint with the agency; |
|
|
(2) the type of information the public needs to locate |
|
|
an existing or potential service provider; |
|
|
(3) the type of information the public needs to verify |
|
|
a license; and |

|
|
harassment, solicitation, or other nuisance. |
|
|
(d) If the commission determines that the governing body of |
|
|
an agency has not completed the evaluation described by Subsection |
|

(c), the commission shall make a recommendation that the governing |
|
|
body of the agency perform such an evaluation. |
