Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the date of the meeting of presidential electors of this state.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Texas Election Code to change the date when presidential electors meet at the State Capitol. Specifically, the bill shifts the meeting time from the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. Presidential electors are individuals chosen to formally cast votes for president and vice president in the Electoral College system, representing their state's popular vote outcome. The change appears to be a minor timing adjustment for the state's electoral process. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving ample notice of the procedural change. By specifying the meeting occurs at 2 p.m. and must comply with federal law, the bill ensures that Texas's electoral process remains consistent with broader national standards while making this small technical modification to the meeting date.
