Relating to a restriction on the use of public money by a school district regarding the passage of a bond proposal.

HB 3013 prohibits Texas school districts from using public funds to pay or contract with individuals or entities that have a financial or vested interest in the passage of a school bond proposal. Specifically, it bans school boards from spending taxpayer money to promote or advocate for bond approval through third parties, such as consultants or campaign groups, who stand to benefit if the bond passes. The law directly affects school districts and any outside contractors they might hire for bond-related advocacy. It becomes effective September 1, 2025, and aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest in bond campaigns.
