Relating to the amount of an expenditure that may be paid by an emergency services district employee without board approval.

SB 2778 raises the spending threshold for emergency services district employees from $2,000 to $50,000 without requiring board approval for purchases. This change directly affects employees in Texas emergency services districts who handle district funds. The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to allow these employees to approve expenditures up to $50,000 without prior board review, streamlining routine spending. The new rule applies only to purchases made on or after September 1, 2025, with pre-existing purchases governed by the previous $2,000 limit.
