(b) Under an agreement entered into under Subsection (a), a municipality shall annually provide to the subregional board a list of projects the municipality intends to fund through the program.

Section 452.6545, Transportation Code
Sec. 452.6545. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF ELECTION ON CERTAIN AUTHORITY TO ISSUE OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding Subchapter H, on receipt by the executive committee of the authority of a notice provided under Section 452.655(c), the authority may not issue notes, bonds, or other obligations if the issuance would cause the financial obligation of the unit of election under Section 452.659(a) to accrue because the amount in Section 452.659(b)(3) would increase. This limitation on issuance continues until: (1) the effective date of the withdrawal of the unit of election from the authority, if after an election held under Section 452.655 less than a majority of the votes received on the measure in the election favor the proposition; or (2) the day after the date of the canvass of an election held under Section 452.655, if a majority of the votes received on the measure in the election favor the proposition.
