Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to use certain tax revenue for certain qualified projects.

HB 2313 allows specific Texas municipalities (with populations between 700,000-950,000, or containing over 70% of a county with 1.5 million+ residents, among other criteria) to use certain tax revenue for qualified projects within designated "project financing zones." These zones must be within a three-mile radius of a qualified project or a continuous area meeting specific size limits. The law defines the boundaries and expiration (30 years from designation) for these zones, amending the Tax Code to clarify municipal authority. It directly affects eligible cities seeking to fund development projects through targeted tax revenue, without creating new taxes. The bill took effect September 1, 2025.
