HJR 125 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the state to cover at least 50 percent of the cost of maintaining and operating the public school system. It stipulates that in calculating the state's funding contribution, local property tax revenue collected by school districts, including recapture payments, cannot be counted. Additionally, the amendment prohibits the comptroller from certifying any legislation containing appropriations for public education unless the 50 percent funding threshold is met. The resolution aims to ensure greater state financial responsibility in public education funding and will be placed on the ballot for voter approval in November 2025​.
