Relating to the payment of salary to an individual pending the individual's impeachment trial.
HB 3067 ensures that Texas state officials facing impeachment trials continue receiving their full salary while suspended from duties during the trial process. The bill amends the Government Code to explicitly state that individuals against whom impeachment articles have been filed are entitled to salary continuation under Texas Constitution Article XV, Section 5. This policy change clarifies that suspension from office duties does not automatically result in loss of pay during the impeachment trial. The law takes effect September 1, 2025. It directly affects state officials (such as judges or elected officials) who are the subject of impeachment proceedings.
