HJR 89 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to override a veto of the governor following a legislative session.

HJR 89 proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the state legislature to override a governor's veto after a legislative session concludes. This change would directly affect the legislative and executive branches by altering the balance of power regarding veto authority. The amendment would require the legislature to adopt a resolution to override a veto following the end of a session, rather than during the session. As a constitutional amendment, this bill seeks to modify the state constitution's process for legislative-executive relations. (Note: The bill's specific override threshold or procedural details are not provided in the available context.)
