Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to enact laws providing for a court to grant a commutation of punishment to certain individuals serving a term of imprisonment.

HJR 148 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Texas courts to reduce prison sentences for certain individuals. If approved by voters in November 2025, it would authorize the Texas legislature to create specific laws defining when courts can commute (reduce) sentences for inmates serving fixed terms. The exact criteria for who qualifies would be determined by future state laws, not specified in this amendment. This is a procedural proposal requiring voter approval, not an immediate law.
