H.B. No. 3575 amends the Election Code and Tax Code to clarify the filing process for campaign treasurer appointments and applications for ballot positions for candidates seeking election to the board of directors of an appraisal district. The bill specifies that candidates must file their campaign treasurer appointments with the county clerk or, in counties with the position, the county elections administrator. Additionally, it includes provisions for candidates for county offices, precinct offices, and other district offices, while also detailing the filing requirements for applications for a place on the ballot.

The bill introduces new language that allows for the filing of applications with the county clerk or county elections administrator, replacing the previous requirement to file with the county judge. It also establishes that the amended sections will only apply to appointments and applications filed on or after the effective date of the Act, ensuring that any filings made prior to this date will be governed by the existing law. The Act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
