Texas HB3022 allows the attorney general to assert legislative privilege in legal challenges to state statutes.

Texas HB3022 amends the Government Code to allow the attorney general to assert legislative privilege on behalf of the state or a state agency or official during legal proceedings unless it conflicts with their representation. The attorney general must provide evidence of their representation within 30 days of asserting the privilege. This authority is not exclusive, meaning others can also assert legislative privilege. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
