MINOR

The bill was revised to change the legislative session from the 1st to the 2nd, updating the session year from 2025 to 2026. The most significant substantive change is the removal of 'municipal' officers from the list of positions covered by the new constitutional amendment, meaning the requirement for equal political party representation now applies only to federal, state, and county races. Additionally, the section number in the Constitution was changed from Section 6 to Section 8.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed by excluding municipal officers from the requirement that every recognized political party must have a candidate in general election races.

SCOPE

The requirement for equal representation in elections was changed to apply only to federal, state, and county officers, removing municipal officers from this requirement.

TECHNICAL

The legislative session was updated from the 1st Session of the 60th Legislature (2025) to the 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature (2026).

The proposed amendment was changed to add a new Section 8 to Article III of the Constitution instead of Section 6.
