SB 2493 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the text of ballot propositions for bond elections.

SB 2493 requires local governments (like cities, counties, and school districts) to clearly state bond election ballot language. The bill mandates that ballots must specify each project's exact purpose, the total bond amount, and confirmation that taxes will cover principal and interest. It also requires a voter information document showing principal, estimated interest, and current debt totals for each bond proposition. These changes aim to make bond election information more transparent and accessible for voters.
