Texas Sovereignty Act would allow Texas to declare federal actions unconstitutional [View all]

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Senator Bob Hall of Canton has introduced Senate Bill 80, allowing Texas to declare federal actions unconstitutional.

Senator Hall has dubbed it the Texas Sovereignty Act.

“We are an independent state, except for where the constitution gives the federal government specific authority to do something,” said Hall.

The bill would create a bi-partisan joint committee to review federal actions. The bill lists federal law, agency policies, executive orders, court decisions, and treaties, as potential subjects.

If the committee reviews an action and declares it unconstitutional, the Texas Supreme Court, the full legislature, and the governor must agree.
