Bill > SB1884

This bill creates a new chapter in the Texas Agriculture Code to protect animal and crop facilities from intentional release, theft, or destruction of animals or crops, as well as damage to property or unauthorized entry. The bill defines key terms like "animal," "animal or crop facility," and "crop." It establishes criminal offenses for these actions, with the severity of the offense determined by the amount of loss caused. The bill also requires the court to order mandatory restitution to the facility owner or operator for any losses, and allows the owner or operator to seek injunctive relief against those who engage in or threaten such conduct.
