Good morning,

I wanted to pass along a resource for those of you facing state preemptive measures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is a message from the groups working on this:

Public Rights Project and Local Solutions Support Center have been working together to strategize on preemption issues arising out of the COVID-19 crisis--in particular around state preemption of localities seeking to adopt more protective ordinances and policy to address COVID-19. If you are presently dealing with any of these issues, or are concerned about preemption of local efforts to continue to protect residents as the crisis winds down, we would love to hear from you. We may be able to provide technical assistance and are considering affirmative strategies to push back against preemption of local public health efforts. Please get in touch with LiJia Gong (lijia@publicrightsproject.orgmailto:lijia@publicrightsproject.org, 301-335-3828) and Laura Huizar (lhuizar@nelp.orgmailto:lhuizar@nelp.org, 407-758-9824) if you have any interest.

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi Amanda:

We are starting to see this type of action in NC (https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-dare-lawsuit-20200408-d46mprn4vbdvbhbg5yawrxw6ju-story.html - this case pending; https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article241572196.html - this case settled)

I'm looping in Bobby Outten, County Manager and County Attorney for Dare County, NC, where the case against the county's limited entry restriction was just filed (first story linked above).

May I share your offer on our local government lawyers listserv so that your offer of assistance will be more widely disseminated to our local government lawyers here in NC?

Many thanks for all you are doing and for IMLA's leadership in these extraordinary times,
Norma

That's a great point Chuck - so far, we have no state preemption here (Our Governor's Executive Orders have specifically preserved local authorities to impose more restrictive emergency measures), but knowing your resources are there may be of benefit, and I appreciate the opportunity to share.

Stay safe!

The Texas AG's letter does not address the line of case law which consistently holds that temporary infringements on constitutional rights are permissible during a state of emergency so long as (1) there is sufficient legal authority to impose the restrictions; and (2) there is a showing that the restrictions are reasonably necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare in response to the threat presented (including that the restrictions are not vague or overbroad, subject to arbitrary enforcement, or imposed in bad faith or with a pretextual motive).

Subject: [Disasterrelief] Resource for Preemption Issues Re: Public Health Measures

Good morning,

I wanted to pass along a resource for those of you facing state preemptive measures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is a message from the groups working on this:

Public Rights Project and Local Solutions Support Center have been working together to strategize on preemption issues arising out of the COVID-19 crisis--in particular around state preemption of localities seeking to adopt more protective ordinances and policy to address COVID-19. If you are presently dealing with any of these issues, or are concerned about preemption of local efforts to continue to protect residents as the crisis winds down, we would love to hear from you. We may be able to provide technical assistance and are considering affirmative strategies to push back against preemption of local public health efforts. Please get in touch with LiJia Gong (lijia@publicrightsproject.orgmailto:lijia@publicrightsproject.org, 301-335-3828) and Laura Huizar (lhuizar@nelp.orgmailto:lhuizar@nelp.org, 407-758-9824) if you have any interest.

Thanks,

Amanda

Norma, All too true, but what it does is let the folks who put him in office know that he's ready to fight on their behalf (regardless of any firm or solid legal basis for doing so).  Now, if Texas had told Louisianans that they couldn't come into the state for fear of coronavirus, his legal theory may have been different and based on the authorities that you describe.  Sorry to appear cynical, but geez, some of the politics going on these days involving preemption is just downright annoying.

Hi Amanda:

We are starting to see this type of action in NC (https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-dare-lawsuit-20200408-d46mprn4vbdvbhbg5yawrxw6ju-story.html - this case pending; https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article241572196.html - this case settled)

I'm looping in Bobby Outten, County Manager and County Attorney for Dare County, NC, where the case against the county's limited entry restriction was just filed (first story linked above).

May I share your offer on our local government lawyers listserv so that your offer of assistance will be more widely disseminated to our local government lawyers here in NC?

Many thanks for all you are doing and for IMLA's leadership in these extraordinary times,
Norma

His argument also would prevent Texas officials from banishing out-of-state home owners who might be residing temporarily in vacation homes along Gulf Coast or in the Davis Mountains, and out-of-state domiciliaries who own ranches, hunting lodges, and the like in Texas that they may wish to occupy during the emergency.  Probably would also apply to protect non-Texan renters other than at-will or hold-overs, because they have a vested property interest in using their leaseholds.  What about out-of-state hotel &  AirBNB  occupants who have long-term contractual rights to occupy?

Good morning,

I wanted to pass along a resource for those of you facing state preemptive measures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is a message from the groups working on this:

Public Rights Project and Local Solutions Support Center have been working together to strategize on preemption issues arising out of the COVID-19 crisis--in particular around state preemption of localities seeking to adopt more protective ordinances and policy to address COVID-19. If you are presently dealing with any of these issues, or are concerned about preemption of local efforts to continue to protect residents as the crisis winds down, we would love to hear from you. We may be able to provide technical assistance and are considering affirmative strategies to push back against preemption of local public health efforts. Please get in touch with LiJia Gong (lijia@publicrightsproject.orgmailto:lijia@publicrightsproject.org, 301-335-3828) and Laura Huizar (lhuizar@nelp.orgmailto:lhuizar@nelp.org, 407-758-9824) if you have any interest.

Thanks,

Amanda
