HB 652 prohibits municipalities and counties designated as "defunding" under Chapter 109 of the Local Government Code from using public funds to provide private security for elected officials. Contracts entered into in violation of this restriction are void. The bill is intended to enforce accountability for reductions in law enforcement funding, requiring voter approval for such actions before these funds can be redirected.
