SB 3013 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the contents and filing of personal financial statements with the Texas Ethics Commission and the removal of certain information in certain statements from public view.

SB 3013 modifies Texas financial disclosure rules by requiring the Texas Ethics Commission to remove home addresses from public financial statements before releasing them. It directly affects state officers, candidates for office, state party chairs, judges, and members of the Texas Civil Commitment Office governing board. The bill adds a new requirement that trustees of blind trusts must sign a sworn statement confirming they haven't improperly disclosed trust details and that the trust complies with the law. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, and aims to protect the privacy of specific public officials' home addresses while maintaining transparency around financial disclosures.
