Senate Joint Resolution No. 39 proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would enable the legislature to override a governor's veto after the conclusion of a regular legislative session. The amendment modifies Section 14 of Article IV, detailing the process for reconsidering bills that have been vetoed by the governor. It establishes that if a bill is disapproved by the governor after the 10th day before the legislature adjourns, the legislature will reconvene 22 days after adjournment to reconsider the vetoed bills or items of appropriation. This reconsideration period is limited to five consecutive days and is focused solely on the vetoed items unless a special session is called by the governor.

The resolution mandates that the proposed constitutional amendment be presented to voters during the election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition for voters to decide whether to support or oppose the amendment, which aims to enhance legislative power by allowing for the possibility of overriding gubernatorial vetoes under specified conditions.
