Relating to monitoring and enforcement by the Texas Ethics Commission of the requirement that certain reports filed with a political subdivision are available on the Internet; providing an administrative penalty.

HB 1804 requires political subdivisions (such as cities, counties, and school districts) to post certain financial reports about political contributions and expenditures on their public websites. Candidates for public office who fail to file these required reports by the 14th day after their due date become ineligible to run for or hold office. The Texas Ethics Commission must monitor website compliance and can impose administrative penalties of up to $5,000 per day against political subdivisions that do not meet the posting requirement. This bill applies to reports mandated under specific chapters of Texas law, including those for local elections and government transparency.
