The resolution, proposed by Hayes as H.J.R. No. 37, seeks to amend Section 10 of Article III of the Texas Constitution regarding the quorum requirements for the Texas Legislature. The amendment stipulates that a majority of the members in either the Senate or the House of Representatives will constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business, replacing the previous requirement of a two-thirds majority. It also allows for a smaller number of members to adjourn sessions and compel the attendance of absent members as determined by each House.

This proposed constitutional amendment is set to be presented to voters during an election scheduled for May 2, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the change, which aims to streamline legislative processes by lowering the quorum threshold for conducting business in the Texas Legislature.
