Relating to the election date for the authorization of the issuance of bonds.
This bill requires that local governments hold elections to authorize bond issuances on the November uniform election date, rather than allowing separate or emergency elections. It prohibits using emergency election procedures for bond votes and overrides any existing laws requiring different election dates for bond authorizations. This change applies only to bond elections ordered after the bill's effective date (91 days after the legislative session), leaving previously scheduled elections unaffected. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on standardizing election timing for bond measures.
