Health Services, Dr. John Hellerstedt, has determined that COVID-19
represents a public health disaster within the meaning of Chapter 81
of the Texas Health and Safety Code; and
WHEREAS, I have issued executive orders and suspensions of Texas
laws in response to COVID-19, aimed at protecting the health and
safety of Texans and ensuring an effective response to this disaster;
and
WHEREAS, a state of disaster continues to exist in all counties due to
COVID-19;
NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with the authority vested in me by
Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code, I do hereby renew the

sonably necessary to cope with this disaster.
Pursuant to Section 418.016, any regulatory statute prescribing the pro-
cedures for conduct of state business or any order or rule of a state

in coping with this disaster shall be suspended upon written approval
of the Office of the Governor. However, to the extent that the enforce-ment of any state statute or administrative rule regarding contracting
or procurement would impede any state agency's emergency response
that is necessary to cope with this declared disaster, I hereby suspend
such statutes and rules for the duration of this declared disaster for that
limited purpose.
In accordance with the statutory requirements, copies of this proclama-
tion shall be filed with the applicable authorities.
