|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter G, Chapter 11, Education Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Section 11.304 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 11.304. WRITE-IN VOTING: COMMON SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD |
|
|
ELECTION. The procedures for write-in voting prescribed for an |
|
|
election for trustees of an independent school district under |
|
|
Section 11.056 apply to an election for trustees of a common school |
|
|
district operating under former Chapter 22 as that chapter existed |
|
|
on May 1, 1995. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 11.304, Education Code, as added by this |
|
|
Act, applies only to the conduct of an election for trustees of a |
|

|
|

|
|
common school district that is ordered before the effective date of |
|
|
this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the election |
|
|
was ordered, and the former law is continued in effect for that |
|
|
purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2007. |
