The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that would enable the legislature to override a governor's veto after the conclusion of a regular legislative session. Specifically, it amends Section 14 of Article IV to allow for the reconsideration of bills or items of appropriation that were passed by at least a two-thirds majority in one house but disapproved by the governor. The legislature would reconvene 30 days after adjournment for a period not exceeding five consecutive days to address these vetoed items, ensuring that only the reconsideration of these specific bills or items is discussed during this time.
If the legislature successfully overrides the governor's veto with a two-thirds majority in both houses, the bill or item would become law despite the governor's objections. The proposed amendment is set to be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025, allowing the public to decide whether to implement this change in the legislative process.
