HB 307: Relating to training and credentialing requirements for certain emergency management coordinators and officers of this state or a political subdivision of this state who have emergency management responsibilities.

HB 307 establishes training and credentialing requirements for emergency management personnel in Texas. It directly affects elected or appointed officials (like county judges or law enforcement officers) and emergency management coordinators in counties with over 500,000 residents who handle emergency responsibilities. The bill requires the state division to develop training courses covering the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and emergency response skills, along with a credentialing system that mandates ongoing continuing education in areas like disaster coordination, mass casualty management, and region-specific hazards. This system tracks completion of required training hours, verifies background checks, and confirms identity for credential renewal.

HB 302: Relating to a prohibition on the issuance of certain bonds by a school district.

HB 302 prohibits Texas school districts from holding bond elections for new debt if existing or proposed bonds would exceed 18% of the district's annual budget. It directly affects school districts by restricting their ability to issue new bonds when debt payments reach this threshold. The law adds a specific 18% budget limit to bond issuance rules under Education Code Section 45.003, applying only to elections ordered after the bill's effective date.

HB 303: Relating to the administration of elections.

HB 303 amends Texas election law to extend deadlines for election-related tasks when the deadline falls on a weekend, holiday, or due to unforeseen events beyond control (like natural disasters). It specifies that for statewide or multi-county elections, the secretary of state determines if an event qualifies as such, while county judges make that determination for single-county elections. The bill also clarifies that in-person election filings are accepted if the person or document entered the office before the deadline time. These changes aim to provide flexibility for election administration during unexpected disruptions.
