Relating to the dissemination by the Department of Public Safety of criminal history record information to consumer reporting agencies.
HB 5432 requires the Texas Department of Public Safety to publicly post specific details online whenever it shares criminal history records with consumer reporting agencies. The bill mandates that for each such disclosure, the department must publish the agency's name, contact information (phone, address, email if available), and the dissemination date on its website. This applies to agencies defined under Texas Business & Commerce Code Section 20.01. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change who receives records or the content of the records shared.
