Relating to requiring voter approval for certain local tax rate increases adopted pursuant to a disaster declaration.

HB 101 requires local governments (excluding school districts) to obtain voter approval within 30 days for temporary tax rate increases implemented under disaster declarations. Specifically, it applies to tax hikes adopted between May 28, 2025, and December 31, 2025, under Texas Tax Code Section 26.042(c-1). If voters do not approve the increase within 30 days, the tax rate automatically reverts to its pre-disaster level. The bill mandates that any required election follow standard procedures outlined in Chapter 26 of the Tax Code. This applies only to non-school district taxing units using disaster-related tax rate calculations during the specified period.
