Proposing a constitutional amendment to require a supermajority vote to authorize a political subdivision to issue general obligation bonds.

HJR 213 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring that any political subdivision (like cities, counties, or school districts) in Texas must obtain approval from at least two-thirds of voters in a public election to issue general obligation bonds. These bonds are typically used to fund major public projects such as roads, schools, or infrastructure. The bill would amend the Texas Constitution to establish this two-thirds voting threshold as a requirement, replacing the current standard of a simple majority. This change would directly affect local governments seeking to borrow money for public projects through bond sales.
