The bill, S.B. No. 148, proposes to amend the Election Code by repealing Section 43.007(i), which pertains to participation in the countywide polling place program. The removal of this section indicates a shift in the legislative approach to how polling places are managed at the county level, although the specific implications of this repeal are not detailed in the text.

Additionally, the bill outlines its effective date, stating that it will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Election Code 43.007 (Election Code 43)
