Relating to increasing the threshold of voter approval for a school district bond election.

HB 3655 would change Texas school districts' requirements for bond elections by raising the voter approval threshold from a simple majority (50%+) to 60% of voters. This directly affects school districts seeking to issue bonds for capital projects like new buildings or renovations, as they would now need 60% voter support instead of a majority. The bill distinguishes between bond elections (requiring 60% approval) and tax levies (which would remain at a majority requirement under existing law). The law would only take effect on January 1, 2026, if voters approve a related constitutional amendment in the 2025 election.
