The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which will oversee the creation of the Dementia Prevention and Research Fund. This fund is intended to support research, prevention, and treatment of dementia and related disorders within the state. To facilitate this initiative, the resolution includes a provision for the transfer of $3 billion from the state’s general revenue to the fund, which will be administered by the newly established institute. The fund will be used for various purposes, including awarding grants for research, supporting medical facilities, and developing therapies aimed at mitigating the effects of dementia.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the governance structure of the institute, allowing members to serve six-year terms, and specifies that the fund will consist of the initial $3 billion transfer, legislative appropriations, grants, and other income. The institute will be restricted to awarding a maximum of $300 million in grants per fiscal year and will require grant recipients to match half of the grant amount with their own funds. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025, allowing the public to decide on the establishment of the institute and the associated funding.
