The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Texas Constitution by stipulating that members of the legislature will not receive a state salary, per diem, or mileage reimbursement for any unexcused absences when their respective house lacks a quorum. This amendment aims to hold legislators accountable for their attendance and participation in legislative duties, ensuring that they are not compensated for periods when they are absent without a valid excuse.

If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which emphasizes the importance of legislative presence and the consequences of unexcused absences in the Texas legislature.
