H.B. No. 3112 amends the Texas Government Code to enhance the confidentiality of government information related to cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure facilities. It introduces Section 551.0761, which allows governmental bodies to conduct closed meetings when deliberating on cybersecurity measures, policies, or contracts aimed at protecting critical infrastructure within their jurisdiction. The bill defines "critical infrastructure facility" and "cybersecurity," establishing a framework for what constitutes sensitive information that does not require public disclosure.

Additionally, the bill adds Section 552.1391, which exempts certain cybersecurity-related information from public disclosure requirements. This includes details about cybersecurity measures, insurance coverage for risk mitigation, incident reports, and technical configurations that could expose vulnerabilities if disclosed. The legislation also outlines procedures for governmental bodies to follow when disclosing confidential information, ensuring that affected parties are notified in advance. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
