The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Texas Constitution to establish two special funds—the Permanent Instruction in Manufacturing and Technical Workforce Operations Fund and the Available Instruction in Manufacturing and Technical Workforce Operations Fund. These funds are intended to provide dedicated financial support for capital projects and equipment purchases related to educational programs offered by the Texas State Technical College System and certain institutions within the Texas State University System. The resolution also aims to repeal existing limitations on the allocation of constitutionally dedicated funding for public higher education institutions, thereby allowing for a more flexible and robust funding mechanism.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the management and distribution of funds, specifying that the comptroller of public accounts will oversee the permanent fund and determine the annual distribution to the available fund. It allocates two-thirds of the available fund to the Texas State Technical College System and one-third to the Texas State University System for various educational and capital needs. The resolution also includes provisions to ensure that funds are not used for intercollegiate athletics or auxiliary enterprises and establishes guidelines for the appropriation and retention of unspent funds. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025.
