SJR 62 proposes a constitutional amendment establishing the Texas Health Care Workforce Education Fund to support higher education institutions in addressing the state’s healthcare workforce shortages. The fund will be managed like the Permanent University Fund, receiving legislative appropriations, donations, and investment earnings. It will provide biennial distributions to eligible state universities, based on an equitable formula, for the maintenance and expansion of healthcare education programs. The amendment limits the annual appropriation to 7% of the fund’s average net value and ensures that distributions preserve the purchasing power of the fund over time. The amendment will be submitted to voters on November 4, 2025.
