The bill aims to streamline the election process by removing this specific provision, although the details of the implications of this repeal are not specified in the text.
The bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If the necessary votes are not secured for immediate enactment, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
