Relating to a vacancy in the office of senator or representative due to excessive absence.

SB 62 creates a rule that a Texas state senator or representative automatically loses their seat if they miss seven consecutive days of legislative sessions without approved leave from their chamber. This provision applies only to absences occurring after the bill's effective date, which depends on whether it receives a two-thirds vote for immediate effect or takes effect 91 days after the legislative session. The bill directly affects legislators who fail to attend sessions without authorization, requiring them to vacate their office rather than continuing to hold it. It does not change existing rules for other types of absences or voting requirements.
