SB 2301 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to municipal charters that set a minimum or maximum number of municipal employees.

SB 2301 prohibits municipal charters from requiring a minimum or maximum number of employees, including peace officers and firefighters. It directly affects municipalities with existing charter provisions that set staffing limits. The bill voids any such conflicting charter language and amends the Local Government Code to enforce this prohibition. The law takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, otherwise on September 1, 2025.
