The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that would reserve the powers of initiative and referendum to the people. This amendment aims to allow citizens to propose statutory and constitutional measures through petitions, which would then be submitted to the electorate for approval. The process includes specific requirements such as a filing fee, validation of signatures, and the involvement of the Texas Legislative Council and the Legislative Budget Board to assess the proposed measures' constitutionality and fiscal implications. The initiative process would require a certain percentage of registered voter signatures, and if approved, the measures would be placed on the ballot for a vote.

Additionally, the resolution establishes a referendum process that enables citizens to repeal statutes enacted by the legislature. Similar to the initiative process, a petition for a referendum must be submitted with a filing fee and a specified number of signatures. The secretary of state would oversee the validation of these petitions and ensure they meet the necessary criteria. If a referendum is approved by a majority vote, the repeal would take effect immediately. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026, allowing the public to decide on the reservation of these powers.
