Dear IMLA COVID-19 Working Group:

Following-up on today's call, I am attaching documents related to Texas' reopening, which prohibits localities from requiring masks and Austin's mask mandate.

Also, here is a link to the lawsuit filed by the KY Attorney General regarding the American Rescue Plan's funds and its prohibition on using the funds to offset tax cuts: https://ag.ky.gov/Press%20Release%20Attachments/21.04.06%20-%20Complaint.pdf

Finally, here is a link to a news story about Texas Governor's announcement that the state is banning any public state agencies or any organization receiving state funding from requiring proof of vaccination. The article notes that Florida's Governor issued a similar order last week: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-gov-greg-abbott-bans-government-mandated-vaccine-passports-n1263170
