The bill, H.B. No. 3067, proposes an amendment to the Government Code by adding a new section, 665.0215, which addresses the payment of salary to individuals who are suspended due to impeachment proceedings. Specifically, it stipulates that individuals against whom articles of impeachment have been filed are entitled to continue receiving their salary while they are suspended from performing their official duties, in accordance with Section 5, Article XV of the Texas Constitution.

This legislation aims to ensure that individuals facing impeachment trials do not lose their income during the suspension period, thereby providing financial stability while they await the outcome of the proceedings. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
