HB 2671 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the date of an automatic election to approve the tax rate of a school district.

HB 2671 standardizes the timing and ballot language for school district tax rate elections in Texas. It requires school districts to hold automatic tax rate approval elections on the same day as the next general election for state and county offices, rather than scheduling separate votes. The bill also mandates specific ballot wording that clearly states the tax rate, percentage increase in revenue, and dollar amount of the proposed change. This affects all Texas public school districts that need voter approval for tax rate increases. The policy change aims to streamline the process while ensuring voters receive consistent, transparent information about tax proposals.
