Texas Sovereignty Act establishes a committee to review federal actions and declare them unconstitutional if they exceed federal powers.
The Texas Sovereignty Act establishes a Joint Legislative Committee on Constitutional Enforcement to review federal actions and determine if they are unconstitutional. The committee reviews federal laws, agency rules, executive orders, court decisions, and treaties. If the committee determines a federal action is unconstitutional, it reports to the legislature. The legislature can vote to declare the action unconstitutional, which requires governor approval. If approved, the action has no legal effect in Texas.
