HJR 87 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment to reserve to the people the powers of initiative and referendum.

HJR 87 proposes a constitutional amendment to reserve the powers of initiative and referendum to the people of the state. If adopted, this amendment would directly affect citizens by granting them the right to propose new laws (initiative) or reject existing laws (referendum) without legislative approval. The bill itself is a procedural step to amend the state constitution, not a substantive law with specific mechanisms. As the bill text is not yet available, the summary is based solely on the title and current status (filed November 2024, referred to State Affairs March 2025).
