TX SB80

Establishes the Joint Legislative Committee on Constitutional Enforcement as a permanent 12-member committee (6 House members, 6 Senate members) to review federal actions and determine whether they violate the U.S. Constitution

Defines "federal action" broadly to include federal laws, agency rules, executive orders, federal court decisions, and treaties

Requires the committee to vote within 180 days of its first public hearing on a federal action, then submit any unconstitutionality finding to the Texas Supreme Court for review within 30 days

Declares that federal actions found unconstitutional through this process have no legal effect in Texas, prohibits state and local governments from spending money to implement them, and authorizes enforcement of state laws against those who attempt to implement such actions

Requires the Secretary of State to send copies of any unconstitutionality declarations to the U.S. President, congressional leadership, and Texas congressional delegation for entry into the Congressional Record
