HB 161 authorizes the Texas Attorney General to investigate and sue local governments for violations of state law. During litigation, the local government may not adopt tax rates above the no-new-revenue rate, receive state grant funds, or collect certain state tax distributions. If the AG prevails, these penalties extend for five years.
