In a written motion filed late on September 1, attorneys for the state of Texas renewed their bid to stay a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of HB 900, the state’s controversial new book rating law, until the Fifth Circuit court of appeals can weigh in on the order...
In the filing, Texas attorneys renew their arguments that the state is protected by state sovereign immunity and that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring the suit.
