Bill > SB130

This bill proposes to adopt the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. It would enter Texas into an interstate compact where member states conduct statewide popular elections for President and Vice President, and then the presidential slate with the largest national popular vote total is designated as the winner, with the member states certifying the appointment of that slate's electors. The bill outlines the mechanics of how this process would work, including provisions for handling ties, withdrawing from the compact, and resolving conflicts with the Texas Constitution. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2021.
