Editor Comments
The section, a temporary transition provision, was added in 2001.
It read: "(a) All land and other property set apart under former Section 9 of this article to provide a permanent fund described by former Section 9 and constituting such a fund on the date former Section 9 of this article is repealed shall be sold by the General Land Office as soon as practicable after that date and the proceeds shall be deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund to be appropriated for the benefit of education. (b) All money remaining in the permanent funds established under former Section 9 of this article on the date that section is repealed shall be transferred on that date to the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Texas School for the Deaf in equal shares. All outstanding income accrued to the benefit of those permanent funds before that date that are collected after that date and before this section expires shall be deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund. (c) This section expires January 1, 2005."
The ballot proposition that added it repealed Article VII, Section 9.
