Texas Senate Joint Resolution on Confederate pensions and university funding
A long constitutional amendment proposal adds Sections 17 and 18 to Article VII. It creates a two cent ad valorem tax for Confederate pensions and a five cent tax for higher education buildings, with bond authority for Texas A M and UT, and allocates funds via the Comptroller and Permanent University Fund. The measure asks for a special August 1947 election and includes a funding proclamation and a $10,000 cost cap for publication.
