Rep. Cody Vasut

Primary HR 1

Passed · Texas House · Lead sponsor

Relating to the nomination and election procedures for speaker.

Maddy summaryThis procedural resolution changes how Texas House members elect their speaker. It requires members to make 5-minute nomination speeches (determined by lot), mandates nominations be seconded with 4-minute speeches, and standardizes voting: color-coded machines for 2-3 candidates or roll call for 4+ candidates. The process directly affects all Texas House members during each legislative session's speaker selection. It implements specific election procedures under the Texas Constitution without altering substantive policy.
