         BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 49-g, Article III, Texas Constitution,

  the legislature may, by a majority vote of the members present in
  each house, appropriate from the economic stabilization fund not
  more than $2,000,000,000 to the Texas Education Agency for the
  Foundation School Program under Chapter 42, Education Code, for the
  state fiscal year beginning September 1, 2012. An appropriation

  submitted to the voters at an election to be held November 8, 2011.
