House Bill No. 2921 amends the Transportation Code to enhance the confidentiality of personal identifying information collected by local governments and airport governing boards. The bill specifies that such information is confidential and not subject to disclosure under the Government Code if it pertains to a person's use of an airport. Key additions to the list of confidential information include the person's profile name associated with purchases, travel dates and flight information, details of any purchases made, and information regarding airport lounge memberships and trusted traveler programs. The previous references to "parking" facilities have been removed, and the language has been updated to clarify the types of information that are protected.

Additionally, the bill extends similar confidentiality protections to personal identifying information collected by joint boards composed of populous home-rule municipalities. The amendments ensure that information related to commercial online payment systems and airport usage is safeguarded from public disclosure. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will apply only to requests for public information received after that date.
