| relating to the information required to be provided in or with a | ||
| school district ad valorem tax bill. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 31.01, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||
| Subsection (d-2) to read as follows: | ||
| (d-2) This subsection applies only to a school district. If | ||
| the governing body of the school district has adopted a tax rate | ||
| that exceeds the district's rollback tax rate and an election under | ||
| Section 26.08 to determine whether to approve the adopted tax rate | ||
| is required and has not been held as of the date the tax bill is | ||
| mailed, the tax bill or the separate statement must provide notice | ||
| that the registered voters of the district will have an opportunity | ||
| at an election to determine whether to approve the adopted tax rate. | ||
| The notice must include: | ||
| (1) the date of the election; and | ||
| (2) the maximum amount of taxes the school district | ||
| may impose on the property if at the election the voters of the | ||
| district do not approve the adopted tax rate. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
| to a tax bill mailed on or after the effective date of this Act. A | ||
| tax bill mailed before the effective date of this Act is governed by | ||
| the law as it existed immediately before the effective date of this | ||
| Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
