Bill > HB143

This bill establishes a new requirement for bond election dates in Texas, mandating that elections for issuing bonds or other debt must be held exclusively on the November uniform election date. The bill prevents these bond elections from being classified as emergency elections and requires any existing laws that specify different election dates to be adjusted to conform to this new standard. If a law currently requires a bond election to be held on a different date, the administering authority must reschedule the election to the November uniform election date. The changes will apply only to elections ordered on or after the bill's effective date, which will be 91 days after the end of the legislative session. This legislation aims to standardize and potentially increase voter participation in bond elections by consolidating them to a single, predictable date each year.
