Relating to disclosure under the public information law of certain contact information of a notary public that is maintained by the secretary of state.

SB 1571 modifies Texas public information law to require the Secretary of State to disclose a notary public's home address, home phone number, or email address upon request. This bill directly affects notary publics in Texas, as it removes confidentiality protections previously applied to their contact information under Section 552.11765 of the Government Code. The key provision (added as Subsection (c-1)) explicitly states that the Secretary of State may disclose these specific details for notaries appointed under Chapter 406 of the Texas Government Code. The change would take effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation. This is a procedural adjustment to public disclosure rules, not a new requirement for notaries.
