Gov. Abbott doubled down on his long-standing call to lawmakers to prohibit local governments from enacting mask and vaccine mandates.
“Since [President] Biden is forcing America to live under a Public Health Emergency, Texas is 100% justified in using our public health authority to control who crosses our borders,” HarrisonWhether Abbott can effectively wield the notion of an endless disaster declaration to bend the lawmakers to his will is unclear.
If the Texas Legislature had a problem with disaster declarations and Abbott’s behavior under them, it could have rebuked him with legislation in 2021 that would have curtailed his powers in disasters, or it could have required legislative action to declare a disaster or even ended the proclamation.
Among them were changes to voting procedures, business closures and reopenings, and the two orders Abbott named on Thursday.
