S.B. No. 688 amends the Texas Election Code to change the meeting date of the state's presidential electors. The bill specifies that the electors will now convene at the State Capitol at 2 p.m. on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December following their election, replacing the previous requirement for them to meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. This change aligns the state's practices with federal law regarding the timing of the electoral college meetings.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with unanimous support. The legislative process reflects a strong consensus on the need to update the meeting date for presidential electors in Texas.
