Violators of the governor’s Monday executive order that affects private businesses and which he says is to keep Texans from "losing their livelihoods," could face fines, according to the Washington Post.

But President Biden also issued a conflicting federal mandate that will soon go into effect, requiring businesses with more than 100 employees and all federal employees and contractors to either have their employees get vaccinated or submit to testing. .

"But the executive order from President Biden mandates that all federal employees and then all federal contractors which covers all the major airlines have to have a mandate vaccine in place by December the eighth so we’re working through that." .

"We believe the federal vaccine mandate supersedes any conflicting state laws, and this does not change anything for American," a spokesperson for American said of Abbott's executive order, according to The New York Times. 

Abbott said Biden’s order "left employers with the unfair choice of either violating federal regulations or losing their valued employees" and said his order could be enforced by state and local law enforcement, according to the Times.
