Bill > HB4228

This bill amends the Texas Election Code by adding a new section that prohibits local government officers and employees from distributing voter registration application forms to individuals who have not specifically requested them. Additionally, the bill restricts the use of public funds to facilitate the distribution of such forms by any person to unrequested recipients. The only exception to this prohibition is found in Subchapter B of the Election Code (though the specific details of that subchapter are not provided in this bill text). The new restrictions aim to limit unsolicited voter registration form distribution by local government officials, potentially making it more challenging for individuals to obtain voter registration materials. The provisions will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving local governments and election officials time to adjust their practices to comply with the new law.
