Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the office hours of an election authority during an election period.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "regular business day" in the Texas Election Code by expanding the context beyond independent school districts to include counties, cities, and other political subdivisions. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously limited the definition to school district business hours and instead broadens the term to mean a day on which the main business office of any county, city, or political subdivision is regularly open for business. This change provides a more comprehensive and flexible definition of what constitutes a regular business day for election administrative purposes. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and appears to be aimed at clarifying and standardizing how "regular business day" is understood across different types of local government entities in the context of election-related operations.
