Summary

The bill lets anyone who pays a tax that funds a government agency—whether state, city, county or district—file an injunction to stop illegal waste, expenditure, or damage to that agency’s assets. It broadens the existing local‑agency rule to include the state and clarifies who qualifies as a resident or taxpayer. The change also makes these cases take precedence over most other civil matters, except where law already grants equal priority.
