Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to define certain terms for purposes of the exemption from ad valorem taxation of farm products in the hands of the producer.

HJR 31 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the Texas Legislature to define "farm products" and "in the hands of the producer" for property tax exemption purposes. This would clarify which agricultural goods and production stages qualify for the existing tax exemption, potentially including livestock, poultry, timber, and farming supplies. If approved by voters in November 2025, the amendment would change the state constitution to give the Legislature authority to set these definitions through regular law, without altering the exemption itself. The bill directly affects farmers and agricultural businesses claiming the tax exemption.
