Relating to the filing with the Texas Ethics Commission of campaign treasurer appointments and reports of political contributions and political expenditures.

HB 189 amends Texas election law to strengthen campaign finance reporting requirements for political committees. It requires committees supporting candidates for statewide, legislative, judicial, or state board offices to file campaign treasurer appointments with the Texas Ethics Commission and notify the Commission within 10 days of any address change for the treasurer. The bill also mandates that committees receiving contributions from corporations or labor organizations must submit affidavits confirming they are not controlled by candidates and will not use those funds for contributions to candidates, officeholders, or other committees. These changes directly affect political committees managing campaigns for specific elected offices and their treasurers.
