AUSTIN — The Texas House
Tuesday rejected a vastly
broadened constitutional amend
ment giving citizens the powers of
initiative and referendum, the
second time in as many years the
measure has failed.
The House on Thursday voted
86-56 for passage of the proposal
by Rep. John Sharp, D-Victoria,
but constitutional amendments
require 100 votes from the 150-
member House and a two-thirds
vote from the Senate.
“Today is indeed a glorious day,
because one way or another we
will be finished with I&R,” Sharp
said prior to the debate. The issue
is not expected to be reconsi
dered.
The proposal was tentatively
approved 88-51 last week and
Sharp and Gov. Bill Clements had
lobbied since then for the neces
sary 100 votes. Clements had
made passage of an initiative and
referendum amendment a cam
paign promise.
Under the original initiative
and referendum proposal, voters
would have had the power to re
peal only legislation that dealt
with state spending or taxation.
However, an amendment
added Thursday by Rep. Carlyle
Smith, D-Grand Prairie, broad
ened the proposal so that voters
could address any statute and also
would have the power of recall
over any state official.
“This puts the clothes back on
the emperor,” Sharp said.
Several opponents of the mea
sure said its passage would create
a “California situation” under
which voters would impose tax
ceilings that would hamper school
funding.
“I think the people of Texas are
eminently more reasonable than
the people of California,” Sharp
responded.
Under the terms of Sharp’s
proposal, petitioners would have
to gather signatures representing
10 percent of the registered voters
in 190 of the state’s 254 counties.
That figure also would have to
amount to 10 percent of the regis
tered voters statewide.
During the more than two
hours of debate, an abundance of
amendments was offered to the
proposal, including one by Rep.
Robert Bush, D-Sherman, that
would have allowed voters only to
initiate bills for the Legislature’s
consideration.
Bush said he offered the amend
ment because he felt the current
system should not be changed and
also because initiative and re
ferendum would never pass. His
amendment failed.
