HB 760 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to references to "the people's money" in state documents, publications, and notices.

HB 760 requires Texas state agencies and officials to use the phrase "the people's money" instead of terms like "government funds" or "public money" in official documents, publications, or online notices. It directly affects state agencies issuing public materials, mandating this specific terminology for funds used solely for public purposes. The bill exempts existing statutes, the Texas Constitution, agency rule documents relying on legal phrasing, and funds held in trust for individuals or other entities. The requirement takes effect September 1, 2025.
