HB 1231 mandates that personal financial statements filed by public officials and candidates be made accessible to the public on the Texas Ethics Commission's website within 15 days of their filing or due date, whichever is later. The bill ensures certain personal information, like home addresses, telephone numbers, and dependent children's names, is redacted before public disclosure. It also specifies retention and destruction protocols for financial statements, emphasizing privacy once records are no longer required to be publicly available​.
