House Joint Resolution 39 post-ratifies the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits the denial or abridgement of the right to vote for failure to pay a poll tax or any other tax. The resolution directs the secretary of state to notify the national archivist of this action by forwarding to the archivist an official copy of the resolution, and instructs the secretary of state also to forward official copies of the resolution to the Texas congressional delegation, the U.S. vice president in his capacity as presiding officer of the U.S. Senate, and the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, with the request that it be printed in full in the Congressional Record.
