The bill amends Section 192.006(a) of the Election Code regarding the meeting date of presidential electors in Texas. The current law specifies that electors convene on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December following their election. The proposed change updates this to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, aligning the meeting date with federal law requirements.
This amendment is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that the state's election procedures are consistent with the updated federal guidelines for presidential electors.
