Relating to the provision of supplemental services by management organizations in certain public improvement districts located in certain municipalities.
SB 2594 requires municipalities with populations between 900,000 and 2 million to contract with nonprofit management organizations for supplemental services in their largest-budget downtown public improvement districts (defined as districts in the central business area with the highest operating budget as of January 1, 2025). The bill makes these "affected districts" permanently in existence, preventing dissolution under normal procedures and requiring municipalities to enter binding contracts with designated nonprofits. These management organizations gain governmental body status under transparency laws and must be governed by a seven-member board. The law directly affects downtown improvement districts in major Texas cities like Dallas and Houston, mandating structured oversight of public safety and maintenance services.
