Relating to the penalties imposed on municipalities and counties for violating state law and the state constitution.

HB 4283 would establish penalties for Texas municipalities and counties that adopt local ordinances violating state law or the state constitution. If the Attorney General finds a violation, they must notify the municipality and require resolution within 30 days to avoid penalties. Failure to correct the violation would result in daily civil penalties of up to $3,000, restrictions on annexation or bond issuance, and withholding of state funds by the comptroller. The bill directly affects local governments that pass ordinances conflicting with state law or the constitution.
