Judge shoots down Texas Republicans' 'Death Star' bill as unconstitutional
Texas' so-called "Death Star Bill," a sweeping new law that would override municipalities' power to make their own business regulations, has been ruled unconstitutional by a district judge in Austin. On Wednesday, State District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble ruled that HB 2171 — a centerpiece of Republicans' agenda during the last session of the Texas Legislature — "in its entirety is unconstitutional, void, and unenforceable." It had been scheduled to take effect Friday.
