Relating to the term of the chair of a county ethics commission.

HB 5645 changes the term length for chairs of county ethics commissions in Texas. It amends the Local Government Code to require that county ethics commission chairs serve a one-year term (previously six months), selected by a majority vote of commission members. This change applies only to chairs selected on or after September 1, 2025, with existing chairs continuing under the previous six-month term rules. The bill directly affects county ethics commission chairs and their selection process in Texas counties.
