SCR 55: Instructing the enrolling clerk of the senate to make corrections in S.B. No. 1964.

This is a procedural resolution (SCR 55) correcting a technical error in Senate Bill 1964. It instructs the Senate's enrolling clerk to replace the abbreviation "AI" with the full phrase "an artificial intelligence system" in Section 2054.711(c) of the Government Code as amended in S.B. 1964. The correction affects only the bill's text, not any policy or law. It has no substantive policy impact, as it merely clarifies wording in an existing bill.

HJR 7: Proposing a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of the revenue derived from state sales and use taxes to the Texas water fund and to provide for the allocation and use of that revenue.

HJR 7 proposes a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of Texas' state sales and use tax revenue to the Texas Water Fund. It would require that this dedicated revenue be allocated exclusively to water infrastructure projects, with new rules allowing temporary suspension during declared disasters. The bill would amend the state constitution to establish this dedicated funding stream, replacing current flexible allocation methods for water fund money. This proposal was reported adversely by the Senate Finance Committee with a 14-0 vote against in May 2025.

SJR 5: Proposing a constitutional amendment requiring the denial of bail under certain circumstances to persons accused of certain offenses punishable as a felony.

SJR 5 proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow judges to deny bail to individuals accused of certain violent or sexual offenses punishable as first-degree felonies, or continuous human trafficking. It directly affects people facing these specific charges by requiring judges to find, by clear and convincing evidence, that bail would not ensure court appearance or community safety. Key provisions include mandating written orders with specific findings for bail denials and requiring judges to consider standard bail factors under existing law. The amendment must be approved by voters in November 2025 to take effect, as it is a proposed constitutional change rather than an immediate law.

SCR 57: Instructing the enrolling clerk of the House to make corrections to H.B. No. 46.

This resolution corrects a technical error in House Bill 46 related to low-THC cannabis dosage limits. It directs the House clerk to remove incorrect language that mistakenly allowed doses to "exceed one percent" THC, ensuring the bill properly states that such doses must not exceed 1% THC by weight. The change affects the Occupations Code provisions governing low-THC cannabis prescriptions but does not alter the bill's policy substance. This is a procedural correction to fix a drafting error in the bill's text.

SB 378: Relating to certain prohibited practices by a barber or cosmetologist.
