The bill, titled "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," proposes the addition of Chapter 193 to Title 11 of the Election Code in Texas. This chapter establishes an interstate compact that allows member states to elect the President and Vice President of the United States through a national popular vote. The bill outlines the process for determining the national popular vote total, designating the national popular vote winner, and certifying the appointment of presidential electors in member states. It also includes provisions for handling ties, the release of vote counts, and the conditions under which the agreement takes effect and can be withdrawn.

Additionally, the bill specifies 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 control as determined by the courts. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
