Rep. Armando Martinez introduced HB 3546, a bill on Education and Elections, to the Texas House on Tuesday, April 8 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the authority of an independent school district to change the date of the general election for officers’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill allows the governing body of an independent school district to change the date of its general election for officers to the November uniform election date, even if the current election is held on a different date. It modifies Section 41.0052 of the Election Code and repeals a provision added by a previous legislative session. Additionally, the bill asserts its authority over any conflicting acts from the 89th Legislature regarding nonsubstantive additions and corrections in enacted codes. The bill is set to take effect immediately if it receives the necessary two-thirds vote from all members of each legislative house; otherwise, it will take effect on Sept. 1, 2025.

Armando Martinez, member of the House Committee on House Administration and vice chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources, proposed another 13 bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Martinez graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American with a BS.

Armando Martinez is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 39th House district. He replaced previous state representative Miguel Wise in 2005.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
