The bill, H.B. No. 1935, proposes the adoption of the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into Texas law by adding Chapter 193 to the Election Code. This chapter outlines the process for member states to conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President of the United States, and establishes the method for appointing presidential electors based on the national popular vote. Key provisions include the determination of the national popular vote total by each state's chief election official, the designation of the national popular vote winner, and the certification of electors in accordance with the popular vote results.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if Texas laws conflict with the compact, the compact will take precedence, except in cases where it conflicts with the Texas Constitution, which will prevail as determined by the courts. The agreement will take effect when states collectively holding a majority of electoral votes enact it in a similar form. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
