Proposition 1:
A
plan to allow professional sports team charitable foundations of
organizations sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association or the Women's Professional Rodeo Association to
conduct raffles at rodeo venues also needs voter approval to
pass.
Proposition 2:
Texas voters will also have a chance to decide
whether to support authorizing
counties to issue bonds to pay for transportation and
infrastructure projects in blighted areas. The plan also
stops counties from allocating more than 65% of annual property
tax revenue increases to repay the bonds and also stops counties
from using the bond money to build a toll road.
Proposition 3:
One of the changes would
prohibit government entities
from enacting rules to limit religious services or
organizations. This was passed by state policymakers as a
response to some communities shutting churches down to avoid
crowds gathering during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proposition 4:
Two judiciary-related measures will appear on the
ballot as well. One would
update the eligibility requirement for Texas Supreme Court
justices, a judge of the court of criminal appeals, a justice of
a court of appeals and a district judge. Candidates for those
judicial seats would need to be Texas residents and U.S.
citizens. Candidates for state supreme court, Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals or an appeals court would need 10 years of
experiences as a practicing lawyer or judge of a state or county
court and candidates for district court would need 8 years of
experience. Candidates whose license to practice law was revoked
or suspended would be disqualified from office. These rules
would apply to appointed or elected officials who assume their
role after Jan. 1, 2025.
Proposition 5:
The
other judicial change would authorize the Texas State
Commission on Judicial Conduct to investigate complaints against
candidates running for state judicial office, just as it can do
for current judicial officeholders.
Proposition 6: Another
pandemic-inspired proposal
would establish a right for people living in nursing homes or
residents of assisted living facilities to designate an
essential caregiver who cannot be barred from visiting in
person.
Proposition 7:
Another change would
allow the state to extend a
homestead limitation on school district ad valorem taxes for
surviving spouses of disabled individuals if the spouse is 55.
Proposition 8:
A
measure to allow homestead tax exemption for surviving
spouses of military members killed or fatally injured in the
line of duty will also appear on the ballot. The constitution
currently allows the exemption for spouses of members of the
armed forces who are killed in action, but the expanded language
would incorporate military members who die in military training
or other military duties.
