Relating to the fee for public inspection of election records.

HB 3931 limits fees for public inspection of election records to not more than $50, or the actual cost of materials (excluding labor), whichever is lower. This directly affects individuals or organizations requesting election records, such as journalists, researchers, or concerned citizens. The bill amends Texas Election Code Section 1.012(e) to establish this fee cap, ensuring requests cannot exceed the specified maximum. It takes effect immediately if approved by two-thirds vote, or on September 1, 2025, if not.
