The bill amends the Local Government Code to allow Type A and Type B general-law municipalities in Texas to change to a Type C general-law municipality under specific population conditions. Specifically, it permits a Type A municipality with 4,999 or fewer inhabitants and a Type B municipality with 999 or fewer inhabitants to make this transition.

The changes involve the deletion of the previous population thresholds for Type A and Type B municipalities, which were set at 501 to 999 inhabitants, and the insertion of the new population limits. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.

Introduced: Local Government Code 8.021 (Local Government Code 8)
