Caption: Relating to the use or purchase or other acquisition of property under the Public Property Finance Act.
Initially Referred to House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
Last Referred to Senate Local Government Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 3462 amends the Texas Local Government Code to expand the authority of governmental agencies to enter into contracts for the use, purchase, or acquisition of real property under the Public Property Finance Act. Previously, these provisions applied only to school districts, but the bill broadens the scope to include all governmental entities. It requires a 60-day public notice before approving such contracts and allows voters to petition for a referendum if at least five percent of registered voters in the jurisdiction request one. The bill also increases the maximum contract term from 25 years to 35 years and clarifies that obligations under these contracts are not considered payment of indebtedness under the Texas Tax Code if they are paid through previously approved maintenance taxes or other non-ad valorem tax sources. Additionally, lease-purchase contracts must be reviewed by the Texas Attorney General for validity. The bill applies only to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025.
