relating to the criteria for review by the Sunset Advisory | ||
Commission of an agency that licenses an occupation. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
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 | ||
(4) whether making the information available on the | ||
agency's Internet website could subject a license holder to | ||
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. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
