The bill amends the Education Code to establish specific requirements for the timing of elections held by school districts to seek voter approval for the issuance of bonds. It modifies Section 45.003(a) to clarify that elections must be called by resolution or order of the governing board or commissioners court, and it specifies that each election must be held at the district's expense in accordance with the Election Code. The amendment also replaces the term "section" with "subchapter" in the legal language.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, 45.0034, which mandates that elections for bond issuance must coincide with either a general primary election, a general election for state and county officers, or a general election occurring within the school district on the May uniform election date. This change aims to streamline the election process for school districts and potentially increase voter turnout by aligning these elections with other significant electoral events. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
