The bill, S.B. No. 2525, amends Section 43.1463(a) of the Local Government Code to establish specific criteria for the municipal disannexation of areas that were annexed by municipalities with populations of 500,000 or more. The bill specifies that it applies to areas annexed between March 3, 2015, and December 31, 2017, and that had a population greater than zero at the time of annexation. The amendment replaces the previous end date of December 1, 2017, with December 31, 2017.

Additionally, the bill mandates that municipalities required to hold an election under the amended Section 43.1463 must do so on the first uniform election date following the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This provision ensures that municipalities have adequate time to comply with legal requirements related to the election process.
