Proposing a constitutional amendment clarifying that a voter must be a United States citizen.

Contracts

• General Business: No changes required for standard commercial agreements.
• Government Contractors: Vendors providing election administration software, voter roll management, or poll worker staffing to the State or counties must anticipate stricter Service Level Agreements (SLAs) regarding data validation and citizenship verification logic.

Hiring/Training

• HR Warning: Do not alter I-9 verification or hiring protocols. This is an election law, not an employment law. Conflating voter eligibility with employment eligibility creates significant liability under federal anti-discrimination laws.
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): If your entity sponsors voter registration drives or manages a PAC, update training materials for volunteers. Ensure they explicitly state that US citizenship is a constitutional prerequisite for registration.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• New Requirements: None.
• Retention: Continue standard retention of payroll records regarding paid time off for voting as mandated by the Texas Election Code.

Fees & Costs

• Direct Costs: None.
• Indirect Costs: Potential minor productivity loss if aggressive voter roll maintenance requires employees to take time off to rectify registration errors with county registrars.
