The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend Section 5(b) of Article III of the Texas Constitution, which outlines the timeline for legislative action during regular sessions. The amendment stipulates that the first 60 days of a regular session will be dedicated to the introduction and consideration of bills and resolutions, including holding committee hearings. Following this initial period, the remaining time in the session will be used for the legislature to act on pending bills and resolutions. Additionally, the resolution allows the legislature to consider the confirmation of the Governor's recess appointees and act on emergency appropriations at any time during the session.

This constitutional amendment will be presented to 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 regarding the legislative timeline for acting on bills and resolutions during regular sessions.
