In my February 18, 2017 post, I mentioned that a bill to amend the Texas Uniform Trade Secret Act had been filed in the Texas House of Representatives.  On March 10, 2017, Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes filed the Senate version of the bill.  You can track Senate Bill 1945’s progress on the Texas Legislature’s site. 

Additionally, the Government Transparency and Operations Committee has set a hearing on the House version of the bill for 2:00 p.m., Monday, March 27, 2017.  TUTSA Working Group members Joe Cleveland and Irene Kosturakis are scheduled to testify in support of the bill.
