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 running for elected positions on the board of directors of appraisal districts, ensuring they follow the same filing requirements as other county offices.

The bill also updates the process for filing applications for a place on the ballot, stating that these applications must be submitted to the county clerk or county elections administrator, depending on the county's structure. The amendments ensure that the new filing requirements apply only to appointments and applications submitted after the effective date of the Act, while previous filings will continue to be governed by the law in effect at the time of submission. 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.
