Transportation Code, as added by Floor Amendment No. 4 by Veasey,
amending Floor Amendment No. 1 by McClendon to CSHB 300, to read as

(h) A vacancy in the office of commissioner is filled by
election by the legislature. The legislature fills a vacancy by the
vote of each chamber of the legislature sitting separately. A
person is elected as commissioner by the legislature if the person
receives a majority of the votes cast in each chamber of the
legislature for the person's election. To be eligible to be a
candidate for commissioner under this subsection, other than for
the commissioner elected at-large, a person must be a resident of
the geographic district for which the vacancy exists.
