Relating to the use by a political subdivision of public funds for lobbying and certain other activities.

This bill prohibits cities, counties, and other local governments (political subdivisions) from using public funds to hire lobbyists or pay nonprofit associations that primarily represent local governments and employ lobbyists. It specifically bans spending on lobbying activities targeting the Texas legislature or related efforts. Taxpayers can sue to stop prohibited spending and recover legal fees if they win the case. The law applies to all local government entities and takes effect upon enactment.
