BRIEF EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS
OF PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
GENERAL ELECTION
NOVEMBER 6. 1984
PROPOSITION NO. 1
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 29 pro-
poses a constitutional amendment
that provides to state-chartered
banks the same rights and privi-
leges that are or may be granted
to national banks of the United
States domiciled' in this state. For
example, if national banks become
authorized to maintain branch of-
fices, this amendment would extend
the same privilege to state banks.
The proposed constitutional
amendment will appear on the
ballot as follows: “The constitu-
tional amendment to provide
state banks the same rights and
privileges as national banks.”
PROPOSITION NO. 2
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 19 pro-
poses a constitutional amendment
that restructures the Permanent
University Fund to provide: (1)
for the expansion of the institutions
eligible to participate in the bond-
ing capacity of the fund to include
the components of The University
of Texas and Texas A&M Univer-
sity systems that have been added
to those two systems of higher
education since the Permanent Uni-
versity Fund was last restructured
by constitutional amendment; (2)
for the expansion of the purposes
for which bond proceeds can be ex-
pended from new construction to
include major repair and rehabili-
tation projects and the acquisition
of major capital equipment (e.g.,
computers and laboratory equip-
ment) and library books and mate-
rials; (3) for an increase in the
bonding capacity from 20% (% for
The University of Texas System
and % for the Texas A&M Univer-
sity System) to 30% (20% for The
University of Texas System and
10% for Texas A&M University
System) of the value of the assets
(exclusive of real estate) in the
Permanent University Fund in or-
der to provide sufficient bond pro-
ceeds to care for the addition of 10
new institutions to those authorized
to participate in the Permanent
University Fund bonding program
and to care for the expanded pur-
poses for which the bond proceeds
can be spent; and (4) for the dedi-
cation of the dividends, interest, and
other income from the Permanent
University Fund remaining after
payment of principal and interest
due on bonds and notes issued, to the
provision of support and mainte-
nance (over and above normal leg-
islative appropriations) for Texas
A&M University in Brazos County,
Prairie View A&M University, and
The University of Texas at Austin.
House Joint Resolution 19 also an-
nually appropriates $100 million in
each fiscal year, beginning Septem-
ber 1, 1985 (from the first money
coming into the state treasury that is
not otherwise appropriated by the
constitution) for the use of those
agencies and institutions of higher
education which are not included in
The University of Texas or Texas
A&M University Systems and, there-
fore, not eligible to participate in the
Permanent University Fund bond-
ing program. The amount of this
appropriation could be adjusted
every five years by a % vote of
the Legislature, but could not be
adjusted in such a way as to affect
outstanding bonding indebtedness.
Each institution of higher educa-
tion that is eligible to participate
(i.e., those institutions of higher
education outside The University of
Texas and Texas A&M University
Systems) would be authorized to
expend directly its share (such
share to be determined pursuant to
an equitable formula) of the $100
million appropriation for the pur-
poses of acquiring land, construct-
ing and equipping buildings or oth-
er permanent improvements, major
repair and rehabilitation of other
permanent buildings or improve-
ments, and acquisition of major
capital equipment (e.g., computers
and laboratory equipment) and
library books and materials. Addi-
tionally, each institution would be
authorized to issue bonds backed by
a pledge of up to 50% of its share
of the $100 million annual appro-
priation for the purpose of land
acquisition, new construction, and
major repair and rehabilitation
projects.
Except in the case of fire or
natural disaster and in other extra-
ordinary cases, verified by a two-
thirds vote of each house of the
legislature, all institutions of high-
er education would be precluded
from receiving appropriations of
general revenue funds for the pur-
poses of land acquisition, new con-
struction, and major repair and
rehabilitation projects.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment
to create from general revenue a
special higher education assis-
tance fund for construction and
related activities, to restructure
the Permanent University Fund,
and to increase the number of
institutions eligible to benefit
from the Permanent University
Fund.”

"DANGEROUS STRANGER" ... is what Trooper Kaelin from the
Department of Public Safety of Corpus Christi warned the students at
Hardin Elememtary about. Trooper Kaelin shows Armando Trevino
how he should answer the phone when someone calls asking for infor-
mation about someone at his home. The students were shown
demonstrations by using several items as to how it could happen to
any person who is upfronted with a stranger. Kaelin was invited by
Mrs. Sylvia Martinez. Everyone thought it was an excellent program
to present to the students.

poses a constitutional amendment
which abolishes the office of county
treasurer in Bexar and Collin coun-
ties if a majority of the voters in
each of those counties vote in favor
of abolishing the office of county
treasurer in a local election to be

of county treasurer in each of these
counties would be transferred to

tional amendment to abolish the

Bexar and Collin counties.”
PROPOSITION NO. 5
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 22 pro-
poses a constitutional amendment
which provides a new method of
filling a vacancy in the office of
Lieutenant Governor. The amend-
ment requires the President pro
tempore of the Senate to call to-
gether the committee of the whole
Senate within 30 days after a
vacancy occurs in the office of Lieu-
tenant Governor. The committee
would be required to elect one of
its members to perform the duties
of the Lieutenant Governor until
the next general election. This in-
dividual would continue his duties as
Senator at the same time that he
performs the Lieutenant Governor’s
duties. If the Senator who is elected
ceases to be a Senator before the
next general election, another Sena-
tor must be elected according to the
above procedure to perform the Lieu-
tenant Governor’s duties. The Presi-
dent pro tempore would be re-
quired to perform the Lieutenant

tion of one of its members by the

that permits the use of public funds
and credit for payment of premi-
ums on non-assessable life, health,
or accident insurance policies and

to do business in this state. The con-
stitutional prohibition against a
grant of public money to an individ-
ual, association, or corporation or
against becoming a stockholder in a
corporation, association, or com-
pany has limited life and health
group policies of political subdivi-
sions to non-mutual insurance com-
panies. The amendment would per-
mit mutual insurance companies to
bid for those policies.
The proposed constitutional
amendment will appear on the
ballot as follows: The constitu-
tional amendment to permit use
of public funds and credit for
payment of premiums on certain
insurance contracts of mutual
insurance companies authorized
to do business in Texas.”

duct to include one Judge of a Mu-
nicipal Court and one Judge of a

selected at large and appointed by
the Supreme Court with the advice
and consent of the Senate.
The amendment also provides
additional grounds for removal from
office of judges or justices of Texas
courts, and provides additional dis-
ciplinary actions that could be taken
in lieu of removal or censure. The
amendment would extend the Com-
mission’s disciplinary authority to
masters, magistrates, and retired
•or former judges who hear cases
by designation. The amendment
creates a tribunal to review recom-
mendations of the State Commission
on Judicial Conduct for removal or
retirement of a judge or justice. The
review tribunal would be composed
of seven (7) Justices or Judges of
the Courts of Appeals selected by lot
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. The amendment also provides
for appeal of the review tribunal’s
decision to the Supreme Court of
Texas and grants an accused judge

stitutional amendment relating to

trates of the courts.”

poses a constitutional amendment

amount of per diem allowed during
a calendar year would be equal to
the maximum amount set in federal

1 of that same year as a deduction
for ordinary and necessary business
expenses incurred by a state legisla-
tor. Current per diem is $30; the
maximum deduction is now $75.-

tional amendment to provide a
per diem for members of the leg-
islature equal to the maximum
