Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday he is considering proposing legislation to provide civil liability protections to business owners who have had to work under restrictive conditions as a result of the ongoing shutdown he first imposed in March.

At a news conference in San Antonio, Abbott gave no indication that he intends on lifting the state’s emergency order restrictions or mask mandate anytime soon. The governor’s emergency order requires businesses to operate at less than full capacity while still also being responsible for paying full operating costs and taxes with less revenue.
