H.B. No. 3575 amends the Election Code and the 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 introduces provisions for candidates for appraisal district board positions, allowing them to file their applications for a place on the ballot with the same county officials.

The bill also includes a provision that ensures the new amendments apply only to appointments and applications filed on or after the effective date of the Act, while those filed before this date will continue to be governed by the previous law. This ensures a smooth transition and clarity for candidates regarding their filing obligations. The Act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
