The bill, H.B. No. 1475, amends the Election Code to require that the attorney general be notified prior to a hearing for a temporary restraining order related to election matters. Specifically, it adds a new section, 273.082, which mandates that courts provide notice to the attorney general "as soon as practicable" before such hearings. Additionally, the heading of Subchapter E, Chapter 273 is updated to include "OR RESTRAINING ORDER," reflecting the new provisions regarding temporary restraining orders.

This legislation aims to ensure that the attorney general is informed and can participate in legal actions concerning election-related temporary restraining orders, thereby enhancing oversight and legal clarity in election law enforcement. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
