Texas voters will see several proposed constitutional amendments on their ballots when they go to the polls Nov. 4.
In the regular legislative session, the Texas legislature passed joint resolutions with a two-thirds majority proposing the following constitutional amendments.
Proposition 1 (SJR 59): “The constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the permanent technical institution infrastructure fund and the available workforce education fund to support the capital needs of educational programs offered by the Texas State Technical College System.”
The amendment, if approved by voters, would expand the size of government and constitutionally require the state to spend a dedicated amount from the general revenue fund, create or rededicate a revenue source, to permanently require that taxpayer money be spent on a technical institution infrastructure fund, according to the resolution analysis.
Proposition 2 (SJR 18): “The constitutional amendment prohibiting the imposition of a tax on the realized or unrealized capital gains of an individual, family, estate, or trust.”
