Relating to the repeal of a municipal civil service system for firefighters and police officers in certain municipalities.

This bill creates a process for Texas municipalities with fewer than 70,000 residents to hold voter elections on ending special hiring and promotion systems for firefighters and police officers. If 10% of registered voters sign a petition, the city must hold an election where a majority vote decides whether to repeal the system. Municipalities that already have an election scheduled before this law passes will follow existing rules. The bill would take effect immediately if approved by two-thirds of lawmakers, or September 1, 2025, if not.
