Proposing a constitutional amendment changing the vote requirement in the legislature to approve a proposed constitutional amendment for submission to the voters of this state to two-thirds of the members present in each chamber of the legislature.

HJR 46 proposes changing Texas' constitutional process for approving amendments to be submitted to voters. It would require a two-thirds vote of members *present* in each legislative chamber (instead of two-thirds of all members elected) to approve a constitutional amendment for voter submission. This procedural change directly affects how the Texas legislature votes on constitutional amendments, lowering the threshold needed for approval. The bill is a joint resolution seeking to amend Article XVII, Section 1(a) of the Texas Constitution.
