Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) An authorizing municipality may submit to the voters of the municipality a ballot proposition that authorizes the Type B corporation to use the sales and use tax, including any amount previously authorized and collected, for a specific sports venue project, including related infrastructure, or for a specific category of sports venue projects, including related infrastructure.
(b) The project or category of projects described by Subsection (a) must be clearly described on the ballot so that a voter is able to discern the limits of the specific project or category of projects authorized by the proposition. If maintenance and operating costs of an otherwise authorized facility are to be paid from the sales and use tax, the ballot language must clearly state that fact.
(c) The authorizing municipality may submit the ballot proposition at:
(1) an election held under another provision of this subtitle, including the election at which the proposition to initially approve the adoption of a sales and use tax for the benefit of the Type B corporation is submitted; or
(2) a separate election to be held on a uniform election date.
