Bill Summary · SB 1343

Legislative bill overview

SB 1343 modifies Texas's data broker registration requirements by changing how data brokers must notify the public about their registration status and operations. The bill alters the notice requirements that data brokers must display on their internet websites and in their registration statements, effective September 1, 2025.

Why is this important

Data brokers collect, aggregate, and sell personal information about consumers. Clear notice requirements help Texans understand who is handling their data and how to interact with these businesses. This bill affects transparency standards that balance consumer awareness with regulatory compliance burdens on data broker businesses.

Potential points of contention

  • Notice burden vs. transparency trade-off: Changing notice requirements could either improve consumer awareness or reduce compliance clarity, depending on whether requirements are being simplified or expanded
  • Competitive impact: Modified registration procedures may affect smaller data brokers differently than larger companies based on compliance complexity
  • Consumer access to information: Changes in website notification formats could make it easier or harder for Texans to identify and contact data brokers holding their personal information
