Relating to increasing the threshold of voter approval for a school district bond election.

HB 275 would lower the voter approval threshold for school district bond elections in Texas from 60% (three-fifths) to a simple majority (50% plus one vote). This change directly affects Texas public school districts seeking to fund construction or improvements through bond measures. The bill amends Education Code Section 45.003 to require only majority approval for bond elections, while maintaining the existing 60% threshold for tax levies. The law would take effect only if voters approve a related constitutional amendment in 2025, with implementation set for January 1, 2027.
