Bond & Campus Improvements

The Bond Transparency Act of 2017, also known as HB 1949, requires local government entities and school districts to publish certain information about bonds on their websites:

• A description of the projects or assets that will be improved, acquired, or repaired with the bond proceeds

• A description of any unfinished or unpaid bonds approved by the voters prior to the vote on the bonds being issued

• A detailed description of how the previous bond proceeds were used 

The act went into effect on November 1, 2017. If a local government entity doesn't have a website, they must make the information available through another internet method. If there isn't a reasonable method, the information must be published in a newspaper that's generally circulated in the area.
