The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that would explicitly prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude in the state. It seeks to add a new section, Section 37, to Article I, stating that no individual shall be subjected to slavery or involuntary servitude for any reason, including as a punishment for a crime.
If passed, this 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 reinforce the state's commitment to human rights and dignity by eliminating any legal allowance for slavery or involuntary servitude.
