The bill, H.B. No. 1489, aims to prohibit officers or employees of the state or its political subdivisions from distributing voter registration application forms to individuals who have not requested them. It introduces a new section, 13.009, to the Election Code, which specifies that such distribution is not allowed unless it falls under certain exceptions outlined in Subsection (c) or Subchapter B. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of public funds to facilitate the distribution of these forms by others to individuals who did not request them.

However, the bill does allow political parties or candidates for office to distribute voter registration application forms to individuals who have not requested them, thereby creating an exception for these entities. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
