jurisdiction, H.B. No. 1
By: Nelson S.R. No. 134
SENATE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 78th
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, 2003, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
House Bill No. 1, relating to the dates of and procedures for
certain elections, the procedures for canvassing the ballots for
an election, and the counting of certain ballots voted by mail,
to consider and take action on the following matters:
(1) Senate Rule 12.03(3) is suspended to permit the
committee to make SECTION 1 of the bill, which provides for a
change in the uniform election dates in Section 41.001(a),
Election Code, effective January 1, 2005.
Explanation: The addition of text on this matter is
necessary to avoid conflicts between the elections held on
uniform election dates and the primary and runoff primary
elections to be held in 2004.
(2) Senate Rule 12.03(4) is suspended to permit the
committee to add text to set the 2004 general primary election
and 2004 presidential primary election on March 9, 2004, to set
the 2004 runoff primary election on April 13, 2004, and to
resolve conflicts between elections held on those dates and other
provisions of the Election Code.
Explanation: The addition of text on this matter is
necessary to allow for the use of the congressional districts
contained in House Bill No. 3, Acts of the 78th Legislature, 3rd
Called Session, 2003, in the 2004 primary elections.
