S.B. No. 1841 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 Chapter 552 of the Government Code when it pertains to a person's use of an airport. The amendments include the addition of various types of personal information that are protected, such as the person's profile name associated with purchases, travel dates and flight information, and details about any purchases made, in addition to previously protected information like names, addresses, and payment card numbers.

The bill also updates the language regarding the collection of information related to airport facilities, replacing the term "parking facility" with "a parking facility" in multiple instances. This change is part of a broader effort to ensure that sensitive information related to airport usage is kept confidential. The provisions of this Act will apply only to requests for public information received on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
