Proposing a constitutional amendment regarding the dedication by general law of money received by this state and money held in or deposited to an account or fund inside or outside the state treasury and the authorized expenditure or appropriation of money dedicated by general law.

HJR 81 proposes a constitutional amendment to Texas' Article VIII, creating Section 26 that regulates how state funds can be dedicated. It allows the legislature to designate specific funds (from particular sources or accounts) for particular purposes through general law, but prohibits changing these dedications without a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers. This amendment would take effect for fiscal years beginning September 1, 2027, and requires voter approval in the November 2025 election. It directly affects how Texas manages state funds previously dedicated by law, ensuring such funds cannot be redirected for other purposes without strict legislative approval.
