Petition of the day
By Kate Howard
on Dec 31, 2016
The petition of the day is:
16-575
Issues: (1) Whether the Constitution’s equal protection and fundamental right to travel rights will tolerate a state benefit program that creates fixed and permanent distinctions between similarly-situated residents based on their length or timing of residence in the state; and (2) whether Texas’ Hazelwood Act’s “fixed-point residency requirement” therefore offends the Constitution.
