Relating to a requirement that the ballot for an election to amend the state constitution include an estimate of the cost to the state of the proposed amendment.

SB 1192 requires the Texas Secretary of State to include an estimated cost to the state for any proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot. This applies specifically to elections for constitutional amendments, mandating that the cost estimate covers the state fiscal biennium when the amendment would take effect. The Secretary of State may seek assistance from the Legislative Budget Board to prepare this estimate. The law applies only to ballot measures ordered on or after September 1, 2025, affecting voters who see cost information and election officials who implement the requirement.
