NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE
WCESD #3 Local Government Debt Transparency
In 2015, the 84th Legislature passed HB 1378 (codified under Texas Local Government Code ยง 140.008) in order to increase local government debt transparency across the state. Beginning January 2016, political subdivisions, including counties, cities, school districts, junior college districts, special districts (i.e. Emergency Services Districts), and other subdivisions of state government must annually compile certain debt obligation data from the preceding fiscal year. This information must be reported to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for posting on the Comptroller’s Internet website.
