Bill > HB1616

This bill amends the Texas Election Code to require campaign treasurers to include their mailing address in addition to their existing residence or business street address when filing appointments and reports with the Texas Ethics Commission. Specifically, the bill modifies several sections of the Election Code related to campaign treasurer appointments and reporting requirements, including those for candidates and both specific-purpose and general-purpose political committees. The changes mandate that campaign treasurer appointments and various types of campaign reports now include the treasurer's mailing address alongside their existing address information. The new requirements will apply to campaign treasurer appointments and reports filed on or after the bill's effective date, which will be either immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers or September 1, 2025, if the immediate effect vote is not achieved. This modification aims to provide more comprehensive contact information for campaign treasurers in official documentation filed with the Texas Ethics Commission.
