A JOINT RESOLUTION
  proposing a constitutional amendment to permit additional uses of
  certain dedicated general revenue transferred each fiscal year to
  the state highway fund.
         BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 49-g(c), Article III, Texas
  Constitution, is amended to read as follows:
         (c)  Not later than the 90th day of each fiscal year, the
  comptroller of public accounts shall transfer from the general
  revenue fund to the economic stabilization fund and the state
  highway fund the sum of the amounts described by Subsections (d) and
  (e) of this section, to be allocated as provided by Subsections
  (c-1) and (c-2) of this section.  However, if necessary and
  notwithstanding the allocations prescribed by Subsections (c-1)
  and (c-2) of this section, the comptroller shall reduce
  proportionately the amounts described by Subsections (d) and (e) of
  this section to be transferred and allocated to the economic
  stabilization fund to prevent the amount in that fund from
  exceeding the limit in effect for that biennium under Subsection
  (g) of this section.  Revenue transferred to the state highway fund
  under this subsection may be used only for constructing,
  maintaining, and acquiring rights-of-way for:
               (1)  public roadways other than toll roads;
               (2)  public transportation;
               (3)  public bicycle paths; and
               (4)  public sidewalks.
         SECTION 2.  This proposed constitutional amendment shall be
  submitted to the voters at an election to be held November 2, 2021.
  The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or against the
  proposition: "The constitutional amendment to permit additional
  uses of certain dedicated general revenue transferred each fiscal
  year to the state highway fund."
