HB 143 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the election date for the authorization of the issuance of bonds.

HB 143 requires that local governments hold elections to authorize bond issuances on the standard November uniform election date, rather than other dates. It prohibits holding such elections as emergency elections and overrides any existing law requiring a different date for bond elections. This directly affects counties, cities, and school districts that issue bonds for projects like infrastructure or facilities. The change applies only to elections ordered after the bill's effective date (91 days after the legislative session ends).
