H.B. No. 1522 amends Section 551.043 of the Government Code regarding the notice requirements for meetings held under the open meetings law. The bill changes the notice posting requirement from a minimum of 72 hours to at least three business days before the scheduled date of the meeting. Additionally, it introduces new requirements for meetings where a governmental body will discuss or adopt a budget. Specifically, the notice must include a physical copy of the proposed budget or a link to it on the governmental body's website, as well as a taxpayer impact statement comparing the current and upcoming fiscal year's property tax bills for median-valued homestead properties.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the new notice requirements do not apply to the governing boards of general academic teaching institutions or university systems governed by Section 551.1281. The changes aim to enhance transparency and accessibility of budget-related information to the public. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
