Proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the right to own, hold, and use a mutually agreed upon medium of exchange.

HJR 175 proposes a constitutional amendment to protect Texans' right to own, hold, and use any form of money they agree to use - such as cash, digital currency, coins, or even private scrip - when buying goods or services. It prohibits government from restricting ownership or holding of any currency, though it explicitly states the state may still choose its own payment methods for transactions with itself. The amendment would require voter approval in the November 2025 election, with the ballot asking voters to support recognizing this right. This is a procedural proposal, not a new law, and would amend the Texas Constitution if approved by voters.
