Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
State repayment for local election costs
If the State Mandates Commission finds this law creates state‑mandated local costs, cities, counties, and schools get reimbursed. Payments follow the normal process in the Government Code.
Credit bureaus used to check moves
A county can use a credit reporting agency to look for voter address changes instead of mailing a postcard. The county may share your name and address for this search, but not if your registration is confidential. The agency may only use the data for the search and cannot keep any voter information. If records suggest you moved, the county must mail a forwardable notice with a prepaid return. If you sign and return it, the county verifies your signature and updates your record; not replying alone cannot cancel or inactivate your registration.
Daily updates on signature fixes
County files now list voters whose mail ballot was missing a signature or did not match, with names and status. The county updates this file every day. The file shows if a verification form was received and if the signature matched. This improves tracking but also makes more voter status data easier to find.
Candidates can hide home address
Candidates with confidential voter status can omit their home address from their public filing. The elections official verifies the residence is in the right district and may mark the form “verified.” Write‑in candidates’ home address, phone, and email on their affidavit are confidential, and address checks are verified if omitted.
Privacy shield for officials and candidates
The law keeps elected officials’ and candidates’ home address, phone, and email on voter records confidential. Counties must apply confidentiality within five business days after they get state lists or when papers are filed, and must leave these voters off public lists. Privacy lasts while the official holds office, or for candidates until the winner takes office; a 60‑day carryover applies when moving to a new county. Officials or candidates may opt out in writing and can reapply; counties must process and notify within five business days. Disclosure is allowed only for real government or news uses with an application, media credentials, and a sworn statement; counties keep records of requests. Counties are shielded from ordinary‑negligence suits when acting on wrong state data, and statewide sharing rules now include this confidentiality.
