Texas Panel Plans Public Hearings On New Constitution
Amarillo attorney Wales Madden, a member of the 37 member Constitution Revision Commission, urged Panhandle editors to attend the first public hearing on April 25 in Amarillo. He outlined 18 hearings across Texas, aiming to deliver a draft constitution to the Legislature by November 1, 1973, with the Legislature convening ConCon in January 1974 to draft by May 1974. He argued the document would be a people’s charter and noted changes to the bill of rights would not occur. Madden warned of possible 200 additional amendments if voters reject the new constitution. The report also covers a busy Legislature racing toward late May adjournment, budget bills, and ethics, election, environmental, and school finance reforms amid no tax increases.
