S.B. No. 330 amends the Local Government Code to include provisions for elections regarding the reduction or reallocation of funding and resources for certain county prosecutors' offices, alongside primary law enforcement agencies. The bill introduces a new definition for "prosecutor's office," which encompasses the offices of district attorneys, criminal district attorneys, and county attorneys with criminal jurisdiction. Additionally, it modifies existing sections to ensure that any budget reductions or reallocations affecting these offices trigger the requirement for a county election, similar to those for law enforcement agencies.

The bill also stipulates that if a county implements a funding reduction or reallocation without voter approval, it cannot adopt an ad valorem tax rate exceeding the county's no-new-revenue tax rate until the necessary adjustments are made or the changes are approved through an election. This legislation aims to enhance accountability and ensure that any significant changes to funding for law enforcement and prosecutorial functions are subject to public approval. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
