HB 5303 raises the voting threshold for local governments to approve certain tax rate increases and general obligation bond issuances. A supermajority (60%) of the governing body must vote to approve new general obligation bonds. For municipalities or districts seeking to adopt a tax rate exceeding the voter-approval tax rate after voters previously rejected a tax increase, the bill requires an 80% approval vote by the governing body. The bill aims to curb excessive taxation and debt accumulation​.
