Relating to continuation elections for municipal management districts.
SB 1452 requires municipal management districts in Texas to hold a voter election every 10 years to decide whether to continue operating. If a majority of voters reject continuation, the district must dissolve but cannot incur new debt, and must use available funds to wind up operations and repay outstanding bonded debt. The bill applies to all municipal management districts, with the first election for districts created by November 1, 2016, scheduled for November 2026. This legislation ensures districts cannot dissolve while they have outstanding bonded debt secured by assessments, requiring them to remain in existence solely to repay that debt. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
