H.B. No. 48 amends the Education Code to require that ballot propositions which propose a property tax increase must include a specific statement in bold and size 42 font: "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE." This change aims to enhance transparency and ensure that voters are clearly informed about the implications of the ballot propositions they are considering.

The new legal language will apply only to elections ordered on or after the effective date of the Act. The Act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all members elected to each house; otherwise, it will become effective on the 91st day after the last day of the legislative session.
