Relating to the ethics violations registry maintained by the Texas Ethics Commission and the requirement that state agencies verify an applicant's status on the registry before issuing or renewing a license.

SB 1460 would create a public registry of individuals and businesses with ethics violations in Texas, maintained by the Texas Ethics Commission. It requires state licensing agencies (such as the Medical Board, Real Estate Commission, and Department of Insurance) to check this registry before issuing or renewing licenses. If an applicant appears on the registry, agencies must notify them, delay the license, and may deny it until the violation is resolved. The registry would list violation details and allow removal after fines are paid or corrective actions are completed.
