SB 1132 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the public use of forms produced or published by a state agency.

SB 1132 requires Texas state agencies to allow the public to freely copy, reproduce, or use forms created for public interaction (like application sheets or request forms), without agency restrictions. It directly affects citizens, businesses, and organizations that interact with state agencies by removing barriers to accessing these forms. The bill prohibits agencies from imposing conditions on form use, except to comply with law, and clarifies that the public cannot alter forms in ways that make them inaccurate or noncompliant. Agencies are not required to provide physical copies of forms under this law. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
