House Bill 1945 repeals the Election Code provision establishing the date of the general election in certain coastal cities for city officers and for trustees of an independent school district located wholly or partly in such a city. The bill requires the governing bodies of those political subdivisions, if the city elected its officers in 2007 on a date authorized by that provision, to choose, by December 31, 2009, a uniform election date for its general election for officers in 2011 and subsequent years and to adjust the terms of office to conform to the new election date. The bill provides that all elections held under the former provision before the bill's effective date are validated, ratified, and confirmed.
