H.B. No. 109 amends the Education Code to require that ballot propositions proposing a property tax increase include a specific statement. The new legal language mandates that the statement "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE" be presented in bold and in size 42 font on the ballot. This change aims to ensure that voters are clearly informed about the nature of the tax increase being proposed.

The bill stipulates that the new requirements will only apply to elections ordered on or after the effective date of the Act. It also outlines the conditions for the Act's immediate effect, which requires a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature; otherwise, the Act will take effect 91 days after the legislative session concludes.
