Apparently that's just the title, though what the proposition does is apparently appending a similarly incomprehensible sentence to the state consitution:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 1-b, Article VIII, Texas Constitution,
is amended by adding Subsection (d-2) to read as follows:
(d-2) Notwithstanding Subsections (d) and (d-1) of this
section, the legislature by general law may provide for the
reduction of the amount of a limitation provided by Subsection (d)
of this section and applicable to a residence homestead for a tax
year to reflect any statutory reduction from the preceding tax year
in the maximum compressed rate, as defined by general law, or a
successor rate of the maintenance and operations taxes imposed for
general elementary and secondary public school purposes on the
homestead. A general law enacted under this subsection may take
into account the difference between the tier one maintenance and
operations rate for the 2018 tax year and the maximum compressed
rate for the 2019 tax year applicable to a residence homestead and
any reductions in subsequent tax years before the tax year in which
the general law takes effect in the maximum compressed rate
applicable to a residence homestead.
For this reason it should be voted against, as it makes the state constitution illegible, but as for what it does I haven't a single clue.
