House Bill No. 3375 amends the Election Code and Tax Code to clarify the filing process for campaign treasurer appointments and applications for candidacy for positions on the board of directors of appraisal districts. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that allow candidates to file their campaign treasurer appointments with the county clerk or, in counties with the position, the county elections administrator. Additionally, it specifies that candidates for appraisal district board positions must file their applications for a place on the ballot with the same officials, replacing the previous requirement to file with the county judge.

The bill also establishes that the amended provisions will only apply to campaign treasurer appointments and ballot applications filed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Any appointments or applications filed before this date will continue to be governed by the existing law. This legislative change aims to streamline the election process for candidates seeking positions on appraisal district boards, ensuring clarity in the filing requirements.
