COLEMAN COUNTY CHRONICLE
STATE CAPITAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By Lynddl Williams
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN—During the reg-
ular and special sessions, the
Legislature approved seven
proposed constitutional
amendments which will ap-
pear on the Nov. 3, 1981
general election ballot.
Most of them are related
to tax relief and develop-
ment of natural resources.
The amendments, in the
order they will appear on
the ballot, are:
Proposition One
SJR 8—Authorizes local
governments to improve, de-
velop, or redevelop certain
areas through property tax
relief and the issuance of
bonds and notes.
Proposition Two
HJR 117—Authorizes the
Land Commissioner to issue
patents for certain public
free school fund land held
in good faith under color of
title for at least 50 years as
of Nov. 15,1981.
In effect, the General
Land Office could issue a
patent to clear up the title
problems of a Leon County
rancher who believed he had
bought his land 50 years
ago. However, errors going
back to the Republic of Tex-
as clouded the title.
Proposition Three
HJR 38—Allows the Leg-
islature to grant to a state
finance management com-
mittee the power to manage
the expenditure of certain
appropriated funds.
The amendment, by Rep.
Bob Simpson of Amarillo,
would create a "state finance
management committee"
composed of the governor,
lieutenant governor, speak-
er of the House and chair-
man and vice chairmen of
the House Appropriations
and Senate Finance commit-
tees.
Proposition Four
HJR 6—Authorizes the
use of part of the state sur-
plus revenues to develop wa-
ter related projects; author-
izes state credit to guarantee
bonds of local governments
for water-related projects;
increases the interest rate
that may be paid on previ-
ously approved but unissued
state bonds; and authorizes
a program to retire state
bonds.
This is the “water trust
fund” amendment sponsored
by House Speaker Bill Clay-
ton, intended to put surplus
money to use solving future
water needs.
Proposition Five
HJR 49—Include live-
stock and poultry with the
types of farm products which
are exempt from taxation.
This amendment will clar-
ify confusion in existing law
which already exempts
“farm products” from prop-
erty taxes.
Argument has occurred
over whether livestock and
poultry are to be included
as “farm products," and a
1976 Attorney General’s
opinion concluded the issue
is questionable.
Highly sought by the agri-
culture sector, this amend-
ment would mean an esti-
mated $6 million to $10
million tax break in local
property taxes for farmers.
Proposition Six
HJR 81—Authorizes lo-
cal governments to provide
• property tax relief for own-
ers of residence homesteads
and changes certain property
tax administrative proce-
dures.
It would allow a mini-
mum $5,000 exemption, un-
less the Legislature votes
otherwise, with an exemp-
tion of up to 40 percent
between 1982 and 1984, 30
percent for 1985 through
1987, and 20 percent in
1988 and thereafter.
Proposition Seven
HJR 4—Authorizes addi-
tional bonds to finance the
Veteran's Land Program and
to increase the maximum
interest rate (from 6 to 10
percent) allowable on Vet-
eran’s Land Fund bonds.
The emergency measure
was passed when Land Com-
missioner Bob Armstrong
notified the Legislature the
land fund was running out
of-loan money.
