Relating to approval by voters prior to the issuance of revenue bonds by the San Jacinto River Authority.

HB 5004 requires the San Jacinto River Authority to obtain voter approval before issuing revenue bonds for water infrastructure projects. The bill amends existing law to mandate that bond issuances - used for facilities like reservoirs, water treatment plants, and flood control systems - must be approved by a majority of voters in the affected area. This applies specifically to revenue bonds (paid from project revenues, not property taxes), replacing previous requirements that allowed some bond issuances without direct voter input. The change affects the Authority’s ability to fund water-related projects and directly involves local voters in financing decisions.
