Digest
HB 51 mandates that before holding an election on a local initiative or referendum, home-rule municipalities must submit the proposed measure to the Texas Attorney General for review. If any part is deemed to violate state law, the election may not proceed. If the AG fails to respond on time, the city must proceed with the election.
