The bill amends the Education Code to establish specific requirements for the timing of elections related to the issuance of school district bonds. It modifies Section 45.003(a) to clarify that elections for bond issuance must be held at the expense of the district and in accordance with the Election Code, while also specifying that each election must be called by a resolution or order from the governing board or commissioners court. The resolution must include details such as the election date, propositions to be voted on, polling places, and any other relevant information.

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 on the May uniform election date within the school district's boundaries. This change aims to streamline the election process and potentially increase voter turnout by aligning school bond elections with other significant electoral events. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
