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 60 proposes a constitutional amendment to authorize the Texas legislature to create laws allowing courts to reduce prison sentences for specific individuals serving time. If approved by voters in November 2025, this amendment would enable the legislature to establish a legal process where courts could commute (reduce) sentences for certain incarcerated people. The amendment would not create the commutation process itself but would give the legislature the authority to do so through future laws. This change directly affects incarcerated individuals who might qualify under future court procedures established by the legislature.
