Related to making the Texas Insurance Commissioner an elected office.

HB 1250 would change the Texas Insurance Commissioner from an appointed position to an elected office. Currently, the governor appoints the commissioner, but this bill would require the position to be filled through a statewide election. This change would directly affect how Texas selects its top insurance regulator, shifting authority from the executive branch to voters. The bill is currently pending in the Texas House Insurance Committee after being filed in November 2024.
