Relating to the authority of a political subdivision to propose for voter approval the issuance of general obligation bonds for a purpose rejected by voters at a bond election held during the preceding five years.

HB 5319 prevents local governments (like cities or counties) from repeatedly asking voters to approve the same bond project within five years if voters previously rejected it. The bill adds a new rule to Texas law stating that a political subdivision cannot submit a bond proposition for the same purpose within five years of a prior voter rejection. This applies only to bond elections ordered on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect past rejections. The law aims to limit repeated voter ballots on the same project without new justification.
