Bill > SB1958

This bill modifies Section 351.1015(b) of the Texas Tax Code to expand the list of municipalities eligible to use certain tax revenue for qualified projects. Specifically, the bill adds two new categories of municipalities that can use these tax funds: (1) a municipality with a population of more than 285,000 that is entirely located in two counties, each with a population over 900,000, and (2) clarifies and renumbers the existing provisions for other qualifying municipalities. The bill previously listed municipalities based on specific population criteria, such as cities with populations between 700,000 and 950,000, or cities containing more than 70% of a county's population. The changes appear to provide more municipalities with the flexibility to use tax revenue for specific projects. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and in the event of any conflicts with other legislative acts, this bill will take precedence.
