H.B. No. 1489 introduces new regulations regarding the distribution of voter registration application forms by state officers and employees. Specifically, it prohibits these individuals from distributing such forms to anyone who has not requested them. Additionally, the bill restricts the use of public funds to facilitate the distribution of these forms by others. However, it allows political parties and candidates to distribute the forms to individuals who did not request them. Violations of these provisions would result in a Class A misdemeanor.

The bill amends the Election Code by adding Section 13.009, which outlines these prohibitions and penalties. It is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
