Proposing a constitutional amendment regarding the time during which the legislature may act on bills or resolutions during a regular session.
HJR 152 proposes a constitutional amendment to restructure the Texas legislative session calendar. It would divide a regular session into three distinct time blocks: the first 30 days for introducing bills and handling emergencies, the next 30 days for committee hearings on pending bills, and the remainder for final action on bills and emergencies. This change would directly affect the Texas Legislature by altering how it organizes its work during sessions. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election, as specified in Section 2 of the resolution.
