SB162 requires local governments to hold bond elections at the same time as the statewide primary or general election in even-numbered years, rather than allowing them to schedule separate elections. This change consolidates voting on local bond measures with regular state elections to increase voter turnout and reduce election administration costs.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
