Amendment No 2 A constitutional remedy for public free school land titles
House Joint Resolution 117 proposes amending Article VII to allow the General Land Office to issue patents for certain public free school fund lands held in good faith for at least 50 years as of 11 15 1981. It would require proof of no knowledge of defects, a long-held deed, and 50 years of tax payments, with appeals through the School Land Board. The measure excludes beach and submerged lands and would not affect state decisions or mineral leases. it aims to correct inequities while preventing abuse, but critics say it creates potential gifts and discrimination.
