HB3033 amends Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code by adding Section 552.0031. The statute is effective September 1, 2023, and clarifies business days and requires the establishment of nonbusiness days under the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA). The new statute defines “business day” as a day other than a Saturday or Sunday, a national holiday, or a state holiday. Additionally, the new rule requires a governmental body to identify 10 days, each calendar year, that the governmental body’s administrative offices are closed or operating with minimum staffing as nonbusiness days.
