The proposed joint resolution, H.J.R. No. 152, seeks to amend Section 5(b) of Article III of the Texas Constitution, which outlines the legislative process during regular sessions. The amendment specifies that the first thirty days of a regular session will be dedicated to the introduction of bills and resolutions, handling emergency appropriations, and confirming the Governor's recess appointees. The resolution removes the previous requirement for committees to hold hearings during the subsequent thirty days and instead allows the Legislature to hold hearings and act on pending bills and resolutions throughout the remainder of the session.

If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to Texas voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which aims to streamline the legislative process by providing more flexibility in how the Legislature can address bills and resolutions during a regular session.
