Relating to the frequency of elections seeking voter approval for the issuance of school district bonds.
HB 153 requires Texas school districts to wait at least five years between bond elections seeking voter approval for new school construction or renovations. It directly affects school districts that wish to issue bonds for capital projects, preventing them from holding frequent bond votes. The bill amends the Education Code to add a new provision (Section 45.0034) stating that no bond election may occur before the fifth anniversary of a previous district bond election. This change aims to limit the frequency of such elections, ensuring voter approval is not sought too often for major school funding decisions.
