Bill > HB3375

This bill modifies the filing procedures for campaign treasurer appointments and ballot applications for candidates seeking positions on appraisal district boards in Texas. Specifically, the legislation updates the Election Code and Tax Code to allow county election administrators (in counties that have this position) to accept campaign treasurer appointments and ballot applications, in addition to county clerks. For appraisal district board candidates, this means they can now file their campaign treasurer appointment with either the county clerk or county elections administrator, instead of only the county clerk or county judge as previously required. The bill applies only to appointments and applications filed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the existing legal framework for earlier filings. This change aims to provide more flexibility in the administrative process for local election candidates, potentially making it easier for candidates to file their necessary paperwork by offering an additional filing option.
