Relating to the vote required to approve the issuance of general obligation bonds by a political subdivision.
HB 111 requires a two-thirds majority vote of all voters in an election to approve general obligation bonds issued by Texas political subdivisions (like cities, counties, or school districts). It changes the existing standard by mandating that at least 66.7% of voters must approve bond issuances, instead of a simple majority. This applies only to bonds authorized on or after the law's effective date. The bill does not affect existing bond authorizations or alter the process for other types of bonds.
