Proposing a constitutional amendment requiring consent by two-thirds of the members of the house of representatives and senate for the governor to call more than one special session per legislative biennium.

HJR 192 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the Texas governor to obtain written approval from at least two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate before convening any special session beyond the first one during a legislative biennium. Currently, the governor may call one special session without legislative consent, but this bill would mandate supermajority approval for additional sessions. If approved by voters in 2025, the amendment would change the constitutional process for convening special sessions, directly affecting the governor’s authority and requiring legislative consent for repeated sessions. The measure is a procedural change to the state constitution, not a policy with direct public impact.
