Proposition 1 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish two special funds outside of the state s general revenue fund dedicated to capital projects and equipment purchases for the Texas State Technical College System. The Permanent Technical Institution Infrastructure Fund will hold and invest assets, while the Available Workforce Education Fund will receive annual distributions for system needs. The Comptroller of Public Accounts is tasked with managing the permanent fund, investing its assets, and determining the amount available for distribution, which may not exceed 5.5 percent of the fair market value of the permanent fund s investments each fiscal year. Funds distributed upon request of the Board of Regents may be used for acquiring land, constructing and equipping buildings, making major repairs and rehabilitations, acquiring capital equipment and library materials, and paying principal and interest on bonds or notes issued for permanent improvements. Supporters argue that these dedicated funds will enhance technical education capacity, improve access to workforce training, and strengthen economic development opportunities across Texas. Critics caution that embedding dedicated funding in the constitution could reduce legislative oversight, limit flexibility in future budgeting, and bypass regular appropriations review.
