Maddy summarySB 10 amends Texas tax code to change how local governments calculate two key tax rates requiring voter approval. It defines new formulas for the "no-new-revenue tax rate" (based on property value changes) and "voter-approval tax rate" (which adjusts for maintenance, debt, and unused tax increments). The bill specifies different multipliers for different taxing units: 1.08 for special districts, 1.035 for small cities/counties (under 75,000 population), and 1.025 for other units. This directly affects all Texas taxing units - like cities, counties, and special districts - that need voter approval for tax increases.

Maddy summaryHB 265 strengthens Texas youth camp oversight by requiring the health department to review camp safety rules by April 2026, in consultation with a newly structured advisory committee.

The bill mandates camp operators to provide safe facilities and conduct annual criminal background checks on staff, including sex offender database verification. These provisions directly affect youth camp operators, staff, and campers by establishing clearer safety standards and oversight mechanisms.
