SB 2300 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the termination and compensation of a city manager.

SB 2300 establishes that only a municipality's governing body (like a city council) can terminate or adjust a city manager's compensation. It directly affects city managers and city councils, particularly in home-rule cities where local charters might previously have allowed different rules. The bill overrides any conflicting provisions in a home-rule city's charter regarding city manager termination or pay. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025. This is a procedural policy change clarifying authority over city manager employment terms.
