Proposing a constitutional amendment to permit additional uses of certain dedicated general revenue transferred each fiscal year to the state highway fund.
HJR 63 proposes a constitutional amendment to expand how Texas highway funds can be used. Currently, these funds are limited to public roadways (excluding toll roads), but the amendment would permit their use for public transportation, public bicycle paths, and public sidewalks. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election. If approved, it would change the constitutional language governing the allocation of dedicated highway funds. This is a policy change affecting transportation funding mechanisms, not a direct new law.
