Relating to annual continuing education requirements for county election officers.

SB 1475 requires county election officers in Texas to complete 10 hours of annual training on their duties, with an initial 10-hour requirement before their first work anniversary. Each calendar year after that, officers must complete 10 additional hours, with up to five excess hours allowed to carry over to the next year. The bill also allows county clerks and assessor-collectors - who handle election-related duties - to count up to 10 hours of this election-specific training toward their own annual continuing education requirements under separate codes. This policy directly affects county election officers and indirectly impacts county clerks and assessor-collectors by aligning their training requirements with election duties.
