1Opinion of the CourtJustice Baker
Chief Justice PHILLIPS, Justice ENOCH, Justice HANKINSON, Justice O’NEIL, Justice JEFFERSON and Justice RODRIGUEZ joined.
This case involves the Texas Workers’ Compensation Subsequent Injury Fund and the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool. The issue is whether the Fund and the regulations implementing the Fund are unconstitutional as applied to the Risk Pool, because they either require Texas cities to make gratuitous payments to individuals, associations, or corporations, or because they impose a statewide ad valorem tax. See Tex. Const, aet. Ill, § 52(a), art. VIII, § 1-e.
