On Monday, March 03, 2025, Governor Kevin Stitt praised the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging his Return to Work executive order. 

"My order was just common sense - taxpayers are better served when the state employees who work for them are in the office, ready to work," said Governor Stitt. "This lawsuit was a political stunt to grab headlines and try to get the court to legislate from the bench. I'm glad that Judge Dishman dismissed the case quickly before it cost the taxpayers any more time and money to defend"
