Proposing a constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the Texas nuclear development fund to support the development, construction, and operation of advanced nuclear reactor projects for dispatchable electric generation.

HJR 8 proposes a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Nuclear Development Fund, a special state fund outside general revenue. The fund would provide grants to entities developing, constructing, and operating advanced nuclear reactors to support reliable electricity generation and grid reliability. Money for the fund would come from legislative appropriations, dedicated revenue, investments, and donations. This amendment, if approved by voters in 2025, would directly affect nuclear energy developers and Texas utilities seeking to advance nuclear power projects.
