HB 68 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to increasing the threshold of voter approval for a school district bond election.

HB 68 would increase the percentage of voter approval required for school district bond elections. Currently, a simple majority (50% plus one vote) might suffice, but this bill would raise that threshold to a higher percentage. This change directly affects school districts seeking to fund capital projects like building repairs or new facilities, as well as voters in those districts who must approve bond measures. The key provision is the higher vote requirement, which would apply to all future school district bond elections statewide.
