Texan legislative draft outlines a statewide special election on November 3 1936 to approve amendments including local option liquor sales state dispensaries and strict prohibition rules plus a concurrent measure to establish a state retirement fund for public school college and university staff with funding and investment rules.
A proposed joint resolution authorizes the Legislature to provide Workmen's Compensation Insurance for state employees and to authorize payment of premiums and purchase of policies. It states the state shall not be required to purchase insurance for any employees. The measure outlines publication, election, and appropriation steps.
Section 1 amends Article IV to create a three member Board of Pardons and Paroles with six year terms, appointive by the Governor, the Chief Justice, and the presiding Justice of the Court of Criminal Appeals, on two thirds Senate consent. It grants the Governor power to grant reprieves, commutations, pardons, and to remit fines with Advisory Board recommendation, and allows Legislature to regulate procedures and parole laws. An election is set for November 1936 to approve the proposed amendment.
The proposal adds Section 26a to Article 3 of the Texas Constitution to cap counties at seven representatives unless their population exceeds 700 000 per the latest US Census. It prescribes one additional representative for each 100 000 over 700 000 and sets submission to voters at the next general election in 1936 with specific ballot wording for and against.
