Texas Supreme Court Halts Harris County's $500 Monthly Uplift Harris Program
Jun 14, 2024, 07:55 PM
The Texas Supreme Court has issued an administrative stay on Harris County's Universal Basic Income program, Uplift Harris. The court's decision requires the county to halt payments through the program, which provides $500 monthly stipends. The stay was secured by Attorney General Ken Paxton, who argued that the program violates the Texas Constitution. The court expressed skepticism towards Harris County's claim that the no-strings-attached stipends qualified as 'economic development.' The program, which aims to provide guaranteed income to residents, is now under judicial review.
