SB 444 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a requirement that certain special purpose districts cause certain information to be posted on an Internet website.

SB 444 requires certain special purpose districts in Texas to post specific information on an internet website. It applies only to districts that impose property taxes, had significant tax revenue or assets ($250,000+), and serve populations of 500+ people - excluding groundwater districts and river authorities. The required information includes the district’s name, governing body details, office contact information, tax rates (if applicable), and contractor contacts. This rule aims to increase public transparency about how these local entities operate and fund services. The bill is currently in the Local Government committee for review.
