Proposing a constitutional amendment regarding the time during which the legislature may act on bills or resolutions during a regular session.

HJR 158 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Texas legislators spend time during regular sessions. It would shorten the initial period for introducing and acting on bills from 60 days to 30 days, followed by a second 30-day period for committees to review pending bills and for the full legislature to act on them. The amendment also preserves the legislature's ability to address emergency matters and recess appointments at any time during the session. If approved by voters in November 2025, this would alter the constitutional timeline for legislative work.
