Relating to public use of audio and visual materials produced by the legislative branch.

HB 3047 clarifies that all audio and visual materials created by Texas legislative bodies (including committees and agencies) are public property with no copyright restrictions. This means anyone can freely use recordings, photos, or videos from legislative sessions or committee meetings without needing permission. The bill removes existing copyright barriers by adding a new section to the Government Code and repealing two older provisions. It takes effect on September 1, 2025, making legislative recordings fully accessible to the public.
