Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under
the Public Information Act exceptions including violations of the privacy of
individuals, these records must be reviewed by an archivist before they can be
accessed for research. The records may be requested for research under the
provisions of the Public Information Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 552).
The researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a request
by mail, fax, or email including enough description and detail about the
information requested to enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate
the information requested. If our review reveals records covered by exceptions
to the Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an Open Records Opinion
from the Attorney General before the files can be provided to the researcher.
The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten business days after
receiving the written request to make the determination.
Restrictions on Use
Where necessary, records will be redacted or restricted to comply
with the Public Information Act and the Attorney General's decision.

Committee files,
1983-1987,
1.2 cubic ft. |
|
Types of records present include correspondence, memoranda,
minutes, agenda, copies of bills and resolutions, bill analyses, reports, and
testimony. Records date from 1983 to 1987 and are files from committee work
done by Senator Hugh Parmer. Committees reflected in these files include the
Health and Human Resources Committee, the Administration Committee, Committee
on Public Health, Hunger & Nutrition Interim Committee, Intergovernmental
Relations Committee (IGR), the Subcommittee on Local Measured Services, and the
Subcommittee on Urban Affairs. Health and Human Resources Committee files make
up the bulk of these records and topics addressed in these files include the
Texas Department of Human Resources' Aid To Families With Dependent Children
(AFDC) program; laws regulating circuses, carnivals, and zoos; regulation of
dietitians and chiropractors; and insurance coverage for mental and emotional
illnesses and disorders. The Administration Committee handled budget requests
from other senate committees, for example, and the Intergovernmental Relations
Committee considered bills, for example, relating to the prohibition of
municipal regulation of firearms, ammunition, and firearm supplies. Researchers
should also see bill files. |
|
Arrangement |
|
Records are grouped roughly by committee and remain in the order
received. |
