Draft Text

SB2657 proposes a process for Tennessee to nullify federal actions deemed unconstitutional.

The Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act outlines procedures for Tennessee to declare federal actions unconstitutional and void. It allows the governor, state legislators, counties, municipalities, and citizens to initiate nullification. The act emphasizes that federal actions exceeding constitutional authority are void and unenforceable within Tennessee. It also states that state officials and funds cannot assist in enforcing such federal actions. The act aims to uphold the principles of limited federal power and state sovereignty as outlined in the U.S.
