Amend CSSB 1172 (house committee report) on page 2, between lines 4 and 5, by inserting the following:
Sec. 61.020. JUDICIAL RELIEF. (a) A person may bring a suit to enjoin the enforcement of an order, ordinance, or other measure adopted by a political subdivision if:
(1) the person is required to obtain a license, permit, or registration issued by the state to conduct the person's business; and
(2) the order, ordinance, or other regulation establishes requirements for, imposes restrictions on, or otherwise regulates the business activity of the person in a manner that is more stringent than the state law that governs the person's business.
(b) A suit brought under this section must be brought in a district court:
(1) for a judicial district in which any portion of the territory of the political subdivision that adopted the local regulation is located; or
(2) in Travis County.
(c) In a suit brought under this section, the political subdivision has the burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence that the order, ordinance, or other measure the political subdivision seeks to enforce does not conflict with state law.
