SB 2975 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain election practices and procedures; increasing a criminal penalty; providing an administrative penalty.

SB 2975 amends Texas election law to require additional identification details on voter registration applications, including Texas driver's license numbers or the last four digits of a Social Security number. It also changes the process for suspending or terminating county elections administrators, requiring a higher vote threshold (four-fifths of the election commission) and approval by the commissioners court. The bill directly affects voters who must provide these new details and election administrators whose employment protections are modified. These changes aim to clarify registration requirements and administrative procedures under the Election Code.
