S.B. No. 54 amends the Election Code to modify procedures regarding voters with non-current residence addresses and the immediate effect of voter registration changes. Specifically, it updates Section 15.025(a) to clarify that a voter's registration change becomes effective 30 days after the registrar receives a notice of change or a statement of residence. Additionally, it amends Sections 63.0011(b) and (c) to allow voters who have changed their residence within the same county to vote in their registered precinct, provided they meet certain residency requirements related to the political subdivision or territory of the election.

The bill also repeals Section 15.025(e), which previously governed the registration process for voters with non-current addresses. The new provisions require voters to submit a statement confirming their eligibility and residence requirements before being accepted for voting, while removing the need for a request to change their registration address as part of that statement. The changes will apply only to notices of address changes submitted after the bill's effective date, which can be immediate or delayed depending on legislative approval.
