	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, All businesses are essential to the financial health
	and well-being of the local economy and are therefore essential to
	the financial health and well-being of every Texan; and
	WHEREAS, Arbitrarily labeling some businesses as
	"nonessential" and shutting down entire industries for extended
	periods of time creates lasting economic harm; it also creates a
	drain on already-strained taxpayer resources, a massive spike in
	unemployment, and an increase in the occurrence and impact of
	diseases of despair such as alcoholism, drug abuse, and suicide;
	and
	WHEREAS, At a time when personal responsibility is more
	important than ever, Texans should be trusted to make their own
	safety decisions about where to go and how to protect themselves;
	and
	WHEREAS, Texans who are employed should be able to stay
	employed, and Texans who lack employment should be able to gain
	employment; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 87th Texas Legislature
	hereby recognize that all businesses are essential and all Texans
	who want to work should be free to earn a living free from
	government interference.
