The bill, H.B. No. 411, proposes the repeal of Section 250.007 of the Local Government Code, which currently prohibits certain municipal or county regulations regarding the rental or leasing of housing accommodations. By removing this prohibition, the bill aims to grant local governments more authority to regulate housing rentals and leases within their jurisdictions.

If passed, the bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If the necessary vote is not achieved, the bill would still come into effect on September 1, 2025.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Local Government Code 250.007 (Local Government Code 250)
