House Joint Resolution 2 proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution to provide for a temporary limitation on the annual appraised‑value increase for non‑homestead real property and to increase the amount of the general school district residence homestead property tax exemption from $40,000 to $100,000. The resolution also does the following:
· sets out provisions with respect to the ceiling on the amount of taxes a school district may impose on the residence homestead of a person who is elderly or disabled;
· establishes that certain appropriations made for the purpose of paying for property tax relief do not count toward the constitutional spending limit; and
· authorizes the legislature to provide for a four‑year term of office for members of the board of directors of an appraisal district in a county with a population of 75,000 or more.
