Relating to request for public information for legislative purposes; providing an administrative penalty.

SB 2566 establishes a "special right of access" for Texas legislators, their committees, and legislative staff to request public information (including confidential data) from government agencies for legislative purposes. Government agencies must provide this information without charging fees when a request specifies it is for legislative use, and they cannot waive confidentiality protections by sharing it. The bill adds administrative penalties for agencies that fail to comply with these requirements. It directly affects all Texas state and local government agencies that handle public records, ensuring legislators can access necessary information to perform their duties.
