Relating to the notice of rulemaking proceedings provided to certain persons by state agencies.
SB 595 amends Texas law to require state agencies to send electronic notices about proposed rules directly to specific recipients' designated email addresses, not through general mailing lists. The notice must include the bill number authorizing the rule and, if possible, a link to the proposed rule. Agencies cannot send these notices via standard business emails or public announcement lists. Failure to follow these notice rules does not invalidate the adopted rule or related agency actions. The changes apply only to notices sent on or after September 1, 2025.
