The 1997 amendment removed the six-month residency requirement and the expenditure and bond election provision. The rationale was that both violated the federal constitution. <br /> <br /> |other=<br /> <br /> None.<br /> <br /> |recent=<br /> <br /> None.<br /> <br /> |historic=<br /> <br /> None.<br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Election Law]]<br /> [[Category:TxCon ArtVI Sec]]</div>
