Complying with the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) requires adherence to timelines that reference “Business Days”, but no formal meaning had ever been established. The law now formally defines the meaning by clarifying business days DO NOT include the following:
- Weekends – Saturdays or Sundays
- National Holidays (i.e., New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, & Christmas Day)
- State Holidays (i.e., Confederate Heroes Day, Texas Independence Day, San Jacinto Day, Texas Emancipation Day, Lyndon Baines Johnson Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and the 24th & 26th of December)
- Optional Holidays of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or Good Friday if the Public Information Officer of the governmental body observes the holiday.
- Friday or Monday before or after a national or state holiday if the holiday falls on the weekend and the governmental body observes the holiday on that Friday or Monday.
- Up to 10 additional Designated Non Business Days per calendar year on which administrative offices are closed or operating with minimum staffing. Designation of non business days for a school district must be made by the Board of Trustees.
