1-2 relating to the contents of campaign treasurer appointments made by
1-3 candidates for certain offices.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 252.0032, Election Code, is amended to
1-6 read as follows:
1-7 Sec. 252.0032. CONTENTS OF APPOINTMENT BY CANDIDATE. (a)
1-8 In addition to the information required by Section 252.002, a
1-9 campaign treasurer appointment by a candidate must include:
1-10 (1) a statement, signed by the candidate, that the
1-11 candidate is aware of the nepotism law, Chapter 573, Government
1-12 Code; and
1-13 (2) if applicable, a notation that the office sought
1-14 by the candidate is one to which Subchapter F, Chapter 253, applies
1-15 <Articles 5996a et seq., Revised Statutes>.
1-16 (b) A campaign treasurer appointment that is filed in a
1-17 manner other than by use of an officially prescribed form is not
1-18 invalid because it fails to comply with Subsection (a)(1).
1-19 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1995, but only
1-20 if H.B. No. 262, 74th Legislature, Regular Session, 1995, is
1-21 enacted and becomes law. If H.B. No. 262, 74th Legislature,
1-22 Regular Session, 1995, is not enacted and does not become law, this
1-23 Act has no effect.
1-24 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
2-1 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
2-2 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
2-3 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-4 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
