HOUSE BILL 3305 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Martinez Fischer |
EFFECTIVE: Vetoed |
SENATE SPONSOR: Van de Putte |
House Bill 3305 amends the Election Code to change the deadlines for ordering certain elections, filing applications for a place on the ballot, withdrawing from an election, and omitting the name of a candidate from the ballot to count from the earliest allowable date for the beginning of early voting by personal appearance rather than from election day. The bill requires the secretary of state to prescribe any rules necessary to facilitate the implementation of these provisions.
The bill also amends the Water Code, Education Code, and Health and Safety Code to modify the filing deadline for a declaration of write-in candidacy in elections for self-liquidating navigation districts, junior college districts, and hospital districts.
