HB 4395 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to electronic submission and delivery of public securities and records of proceedings for those securities.

HB 4395 requires issuers of public financial instruments (like bonds) to submit documents such as securities, records of proceedings, or credit agreements to Texas' Attorney General in electronic format with a digital signature, starting January 1, 2026. The Attorney General must then deliver these documents electronically to the Comptroller. This applies only to submissions made on or after the effective date, leaving prior submissions under existing rules. The bill streamlines the submission process but does not change the approval requirements for these financial instruments.
