Relating to the text of ballot propositions that increase taxes.

SB 1025 requires that ballot propositions seeking voter approval for tax increases must clearly state the specific tax amount or maximum rate and include the phrase "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE" in capital letters, using the same font size as the rest of the proposition. This applies only to future tax-related ballot measures in Texas elections (effective September 1, 2025, but enacted immediately upon the governor's signature on May 24, 2025). The bill directly affects voters and election officials by standardizing the wording of tax increase proposals on ballots. It does not change tax policy but ensures voters receive clear, upfront information about tax increases before voting.
