Relating to the authority of a political subdivision to propose for voter approval the issuance of general obligation bonds for a purpose rejected by voters at a bond election held during the preceding two years.

HB 89 prevents local governments (like cities or counties) from asking voters to approve the same or very similar bond proposal for a specific project within two years after voters previously rejected it. The bill adds a rule to Texas law stating that if voters turned down a bond vote for a particular purpose in the past two years, the government cannot resubmit that identical or nearly identical proposal. This applies only to bond elections ordered on or after the bill's effective date. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences.)
