The bill, H.B. No. 1519, proposes an amendment to the Election Code of Texas by adding Section 41.0051, which mandates that elections for the issuance of bonds or tax increases must be held on the November uniform election date. Additionally, it specifies that such elections cannot be conducted as emergency elections, regardless of existing provisions in Section 41.0011. If any other law requires these elections to occur on a different date, the administering authority must adjust the election date to align with this new requirement.

The changes introduced by this bill will only apply to elections ordered on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. Elections ordered prior to this date will continue to be governed by the laws in effect at that time. This legislation aims to standardize the timing of bond and tax increase elections, ensuring they coincide with the established November election schedule.
