The resolution, S.J.R. No. 57, proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would prohibit the use of state funds to cover the debts or obligations of local public retirement systems. Specifically, it seeks to add a new subsection to Section 67 of Article XVI, stating that the state is not liable for any debts of these retirement systems and that the legislature cannot allocate state money for their obligations.

If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters during the 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 ensure that local retirement systems are financially independent from state funding.
