Digest
SB 2519 restricts the use of certain property tax revenues and prohibits municipalities and counties from using ad valorem tax revenue to secure bonds without voter approval. It also allows property owners to sue taxing entities if they deviate from the tax purposes stated in bond elections. Courts may issue injunctions preventing tax collection if a local government materially alters how voter-approved funds are used​.
