Bill Summary

AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution, passed by the Texas Legislature, asserts the state's authority under the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves powers not specifically given to the federal government to the states or the people. It serves as a formal notice to the federal government to stop and undo any mandates or laws that exceed its constitutionally defined powers, arguing that the federal government has overstepped its role as an agent of the states. The resolution also calls for the prohibition or repeal of federal laws that compel states to act under threat of penalties or loss of funding, unless those laws are necessary to protect rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
