The bill, H.B. No. 2811, proposes an amendment to the Texas Election Code regarding the meeting date of presidential electors. Specifically, it changes the convening day from the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. This adjustment aligns the state's practices with federal law concerning the timing of the electoral college meetings.
The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period before the new date is implemented. This change aims to ensure consistency in the electoral process and adherence to federal guidelines.
