Relating to the ballot proposition for a school district bond election.
HB 212 requires school districts in Texas to include two specific details on ballots for bond elections: (1) the clear statement "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE," and (2) the percentage of students who met proficiency standards in math and reading during the most recent school year. This bill directly affects school districts seeking voter approval for bond measures, as it mandates transparent disclosure of tax impacts and academic performance data. The amendment applies to all bond election ballot propositions under Section 45.003(b) of the Education Code. It does not change bond funding levels or voting rules, only the required information presented to voters. The bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
