Texas HB652 prohibits certain municipalities and counties from using public funds to provide private security to elected officials if they have.

Texas HB652 amends the Local Government Code to prohibit home-rule municipalities deemed "defunding municipalities" from using public money to provide private security to elected officials. It also prohibits counties that have reduced or reallocated law enforcement funding without voter approval from using public funds for private security for elected officials until the funding is reversed or approved by voters. Contracts made in violation of these provisions are void as against public policy. The changes apply to contracts entered into after the bill's effective date.
