The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify the authority of the Texas Attorney General in prosecuting criminal offenses related to the state's election laws. Specifically, it amends Section 22 of Article IV of the Texas Constitution to establish that the Attorney General will have concurrent jurisdiction with county or district attorneys in these prosecutions. This change aims to enhance the enforcement of election laws by allowing the Attorney General to take action alongside local prosecutors.
If approved, this amendment will be presented to voters during the election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition for voters to decide whether to support the amendment, which explicitly states the Attorney General's role in prosecuting election law violations.
