Relating to public access to personal financial statements filed by public officials and candidates.

HB 1231 requires public officials and candidates in Texas to file financial statements that become public records. The bill mandates that these statements be made available online within 15 days of filing, while removing sensitive personal details like home addresses, phone numbers, and children's names before public release. It also specifies that the commission may destroy outdated statements rather than keeping them online indefinitely. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
