Texas SB131 prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from enforcing certain federal laws during public health emergencies.

Texas SB131 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit state agencies, political subdivisions, and law enforcement officers from enforcing or assisting with federal laws enacted in response to federally declared public health emergencies, unless those laws already exist under state law. If a political subdivision enforces such federal laws, it becomes ineligible for state funding for the following fiscal year. The bill also allows individuals to file complaints with the attorney general, who may seek legal relief against the subdivision.
