House Bill No. 143, introduced by Leo Wilson, amends the Election Code of Texas by adding a new section, 41.0051, which establishes that elections for the issuance of bonds or other debt must be held on the November uniform election date. The bill specifies that such elections cannot be conducted as emergency elections, regardless of existing provisions in Section 41.0011. Additionally, if any law requires an election for bond issuance to occur on a different date, the administering authority must adjust the election date to align with the November uniform election date.

The provisions of this bill will only apply to elections ordered on or after its effective date, which is set for the 91st day following the conclusion of the legislative session. Elections ordered prior to this date will continue to be governed by the laws in effect at that time.
