Relating to the training of certain members of the board of directors of an appraisal district.

HB 2550 requires new members of appraisal district boards (starting January 1, 2026) to complete a 10-hour training program covering property tax administration, budgeting, and valuation methods. The training, prescribed by the state comptroller, must address how appraisal districts allocate budgets among local taxing units and value taxable property. Temporary or provisional board members may serve up to one year without training, and nonvoting board members are exempt. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, with the comptroller required to finalize the training curriculum by January 1, 2026.
