The bill, H.B. No. 3067, proposes an amendment to the Government Code of Texas regarding the payment of salary to individuals who are suspended due to impeachment proceedings. Specifically, it introduces a new section, 665.0215, which stipulates that individuals facing impeachment are entitled to continue receiving their salary while they are suspended from their official duties. This provision aligns with Section 5 of Article XV of the Texas Constitution, which addresses the rights of individuals during impeachment.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that individuals under impeachment can maintain their financial support during the suspension period. This legislative change aims to provide clarity and protection for those undergoing the impeachment process, reinforcing their entitlement to salary despite the suspension from their office.
