Texas SB707 allows the state legislature to declare federal directives unconstitutional and prohibit state officers and employees from enforcing them.

Texas SB707 amends the Government Code to establish a process for the state legislature to determine if certain federal directives are unconstitutional. The bill defines "unconstitutional federal directive" as a federal directive that infringes on state powers or limits the state's ability to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of its people. The legislature can only make such a determination through a concurrent resolution that specifies the directive, explains the basis for the determination, and details the prohibited activities for state officers and employees.
