Texas Proposition 14, officially the Establish Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas Amendment is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that will appear on the ballot in the U.S. state of Texas on November 4, 2025.
Background
The proposition was approved for the ballot in April 2025 by the Texas Legislature, as a bipartisan effort.[1][2] The proposition is similar to one passed by voters in 2007 to establish the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.[3] The Alzheimer's Association supported the legislation.[4]
Impact
If passed, the amendment would allocate $3 billion from the budget to the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which was established in early 2025.[5][6][7]
