Rep. Gene Wu

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes adding a constitutional amendment to Texas law that would establish a fundamental right to personal reproductive autonomy for all individuals residing in Texas. It would prohibit the state from restricting reproductive choices unless a "compelling state interest" is proven and the restriction uses the "least restrictive means available." The amendment would become part of the Texas Constitution if approved by voters in the November 2025 election. This change would directly affect all Texans seeking reproductive healthcare by setting a strict legal standard for any future restrictions.

Maddy summaryHJR 23 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing Texas school districts to offer property tax exemptions on homesteads for certain full-time school employees. Specifically, districts could exempt 20% or more of the appraised value of a residence homestead for classroom teachers, counselors, librarians, or school nurses. The exemption would be in addition to existing tax breaks, and districts would set the exact percentage (minimum 20%). This would reduce property tax bills for eligible school staff but does not require districts to adopt the exemption.
