Legislation abolishing elections administrator position goes into effect Friday: What you should know

Texas Senate Bill 1750 went into effect Friday, abolishing the Election Administrator’s Office.

The bill will also return election management to the Harris County Clerk’s Office and voter registration to the county’s Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office.

SB1750 was authored by Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, who cited Harris County election problems as a catalyst for the legislation. “For nearly 100 years Texas law has prohibited laws that apply to only one locale and can never again in the future apply to another locale. That’s exactly what SB 1750 does,” Menefee said.
