Bill > SB2375

This bill is a comprehensive statutory revision act that makes numerous nonsubstantive corrections, clarifications, and technical amendments across multiple Texas state codes. The primary purpose, as outlined in Section 1.001, is to codify various statutes without making substantive changes, conform codifications enacted by the 88th Legislature, revise provisions in existing codes, make necessary corrections, and renumber or redesignate titles, chapters, and sections of codes that have duplicate designations. The bill affects a wide range of areas including agriculture, business and commerce, criminal procedure, education, family law, government operations, health and safety, human resources, insurance, labor, local government, natural resources, occupations, parks and wildlife, penal code, transportation, and utilities codes. Key provisions include technical corrections to references, removing duplicative sections, updating cross-references, and ensuring consistency across different legislative acts. The bill also includes provisions to preserve existing legal interpretations, transition provisions, and validation of prior legal actions. Importantly, the bill does not alter the substantive meaning of the laws it addresses, but rather aims to improve the organization, clarity, and internal consistency of Texas state statutes. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing ample time for implementation and review.
