Texas SB2010 prohibits political subdivisions from establishing guaranteed income programs without explicit legal authorization.

Texas SB2010 amends the Local Government Code to prohibit political subdivisions from establishing or operating guaranteed income programs unless explicitly authorized by law. A guaranteed income program is defined as one where an individual receives unconditional cash payments regularly for any purpose. Programs requiring employment, work, or job training as conditions for payment are excluded from this definition. Existing programs in effect before the bill's effective date can continue until January 1, 2026, or the expiration of the program, whichever comes first.
