Bill Summary

Claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to halt and reverse certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution asserts that the State of Texas holds sovereign authority over all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, as guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment, which reserves such powers to the states or the people. It formally notifies the federal government to stop and undo any mandates or laws that exceed these enumerated powers, arguing that the federal government is an agent of the states and should not overstep its constitutional boundaries. Furthermore, the resolution calls for the prohibition or repeal of federal laws that compel states to comply with certain actions under penalty of fines or loss of funding, unless those laws are necessary to protect rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
