Relating to the text of ballot propositions for bond elections.
HB 213 requires Texas ballot propositions for bond elections to clearly state the specific purpose of the bond (e.g., "to build a new library"), the total principal amount, and the estimated annual tax impact per $100,000 in property value. Each distinct project or purpose must appear as a separate ballot option, preventing multiple projects from being bundled into one vote. Political subdivisions (like cities, counties, or school districts) must also provide a voter information document detailing the bond's principal, interest, and total cost. This bill aims to improve voter transparency by standardizing and clarifying bond election information.
