S.J.R. No. 59 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish two special funds within the Texas State Treasury: the Permanent Technical Institution Infrastructure Fund and the Available Workforce Education Fund. These funds are intended to provide dedicated financial support for capital projects and equipment purchases related to educational programs offered by the Texas State Technical College System. The amendment outlines the sources of funding for these accounts, including appropriations, interest earnings, and donations, and specifies that the funds will be managed by the comptroller of public accounts.
The resolution also details the permissible uses of the funds, which include acquiring land, constructing and equipping buildings, and purchasing capital equipment, while explicitly prohibiting the use of these funds for intercollegiate athletics or auxiliary enterprises. Additionally, it sets limits on the total amount that can be allocated to the Texas State Technical College System from these funds in relation to other funding sources. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for approval in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025.
