What’s in it

This bill relates to executive orders issued by the president of the United States. The bill allows the legislative council to review an executive order issued by the president and not passed into law by the Congress of the United States. The legislative council may refer such orders to the attorney general and governor for further review. The bill requires the attorney general to determine whether an order is constitutional and to decide whether to seek an exemption from the order or a ruling on its constitutionality.

Read the full explanation

The bill prohibits the state, a political subdivision of the state, or any publicly funded organization, from enforcing a presidential executive order that restricts a person’s rights or which the attorney general has determined to be unconstitutional and which is related to certain enumerated subjects.
