Background

The proposition was approved for the ballot by the Texas Legislature as a bipartisan effort. [1] [2] It passed in the House on April 28, 2025 with unanimous support from voting Democrats and 85.4% support from voting Republicans. On May 12, 2025, it passed in the Senate with unanimous bipartisan support. [3]

The proposition is similar to one passed by voters in 2007 to establish the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. [4] The Alzheimer's Association supported the legislation. [5]

Impact

If approved by voters, the amendment would allocate $3 billion from the budget to the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which was established in early 2025. [6] [7] [8]
