Bill > HB3076

This bill amends Section 351.1015(b) of the Texas Tax Code to expand the list of municipalities that can use certain tax revenue for qualified projects. Specifically, the bill adds two new categories of municipalities to the existing list: those with a population of 200,000 or more that meet a specific description in Section 351.152(15), and those described in Section 351.152(61). The bill modifies the existing language by removing the word "or" between different municipal categories and renumbers the list of qualifying municipalities from two to six entries. While the technical details of the specific sections referenced are not fully explained in the text, the bill appears to be broadening the eligibility for certain municipalities to access and use tax revenue for specific projects. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and the bill includes a provision stating that it prevails over any conflicting legislation from the 89th Legislature's Regular Session in 2025.
