HB 4032 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the election of junior college district trustees by plurality vote.

HB 4032 changes how junior college district trustees are elected in Texas by replacing the requirement for a majority vote (with runoff elections if no candidate wins a majority) with a plurality system, where the candidate receiving the most votes wins. This bill affects all junior college districts statewide, with a specific provision setting election dates for certain large districts (those in counties with 2.5 million+ residents containing a city over 1.18 million) to the first Saturday in April of even-numbered years. The bill repeals an existing law section and takes effect on September 1, 2025.
