| 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; | ||

| an agency has not completed the evaluation described by Subsection | ||
| (c), the commission shall make a recommendation that the governing | ||
