House Bill No. 3013 introduces a new provision to the Education Code, specifically adding Section 11.1691, which imposes restrictions on the use of public funds by school districts in relation to bond proposals. Under this new section, the board of trustees of a school district is prohibited from spending public money to pay or contract with individuals or entities that have a vested interest in promoting or advocating for the passage of a bond proposal. This aims to ensure that public resources are not used to influence the outcome of bond elections.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, thereby providing school districts with a clear guideline on the limitations regarding the use of public funds in the context of bond proposals. This legislative change seeks to enhance transparency and accountability in the financial dealings of school districts concerning bond measures.
