Bill > HB384

This bill, called the Texas Sovereignty Act, aims to assert the state's sovereignty and limit the power of the federal government. It establishes a Joint Legislative Committee on Constitutional Enforcement to review federal actions and determine if they are unconstitutional. If a federal action is deemed unconstitutional, the state legislature can vote to declare it as such, effectively nullifying its legal effect in Texas. The bill also authorizes the Attorney General to defend the state against the implementation and enforcement of such unconstitutional federal actions. Additionally, the bill provides Texas courts with jurisdiction to issue declaratory judgments on the constitutionality of federal actions. The overall purpose of the bill is to assert Texas' sovereignty and limit the federal government's power within the state.
