Initially Referred to House State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
This bill would cost taxpayers $1,171,234.00 over five years, according to the Legislative Budget Bureau.
HB 1804 introduces measures to enforce compliance with financial reporting requirements for political candidates and officeholders. It makes filing required reports under specific chapters of the Election Code, Government Code, and Local Government Code a prerequisite for eligibility to run for or hold public office. The bill grants authorities the ability to declare individuals ineligible for failure to file and imposes administrative penalties for noncompliance. It also tasks the Texas Ethics Commission with monitoring political subdivisions' compliance with online report availability requirements, providing penalties for violations, and outlines procedures for removing certain public officers for noncompliance.
