H.B. No. 2615 aims to enhance transparency in the management of public improvement districts by mandating the publication of service plans and assessments on municipal or county websites. The bill introduces new requirements, including that municipalities or counties must post a copy of the service plan within seven days of its approval, amendment, or update. Additionally, it requires the governing body to submit assessment rolls to appraisal districts within seven days of levying assessments, ensuring that these rolls are in an electronic format compatible with property tax databases.

The bill also updates existing legal language, such as renaming the heading of Section 372.016 to "Proposed Assessment Roll" and specifying the information that must be included in the assessment roll submitted to appraisal districts. Furthermore, it expands the database requirements in Section 26.17(b) of the Tax Code to include detailed information about public improvement districts, such as the total assessment levied against properties and the annual assessment amounts. This legislation is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
