HJR 124 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment creating the state school health and safety fund to provide financial support for projects that improve the physical and mental health of public school students and enhance the safety of public schools in this state.

HJR 124 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a dedicated state school health and safety fund. This fund would provide financial support for public school projects improving students' physical and mental health and enhancing school safety, directly affecting Texas public schools and districts. The fund, administered by the Texas Permanent School Fund Corporation, would be separate from general state revenue and could be used for projects meeting Texas Education Agency standards. Money in the fund would come from legislative appropriations, transfers, or dedicated revenue sources, with specific spending limited to approved health and safety initiatives.
