HB 133 caps annual spending by political subdivisions to the prior year’s expenditures plus inflation and population growth, unless two-thirds of voters approve an overage in a uniform election. The Texas Attorney General is empowered to enforce compliance through injunctive or declaratory relief. It excludes disaster relief costs and donations from the expenditure cap.
