Texas Governor Abbott Signs 1,155 Bills Including Anti-NDA, Parental Rights Laws

News summary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a wide range of legislation into law, including the notable 'Trey's Law,' which bans nondisclosure agreements in sexual assault cases involving children or trafficking, empowering survivors to speak out. Abbott also approved SB 12 and SB 13, known as the Parental Bill of Rights and a measure to increase parental control over school library content, respectively, aiming to limit instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity and restrict access to pornographic materials in public schools. Additionally, Abbott signed bills providing clarity on abortion criteria under Texas's near-total ban and restricting cell phone use for students during school hours. Over the 89th Regular Legislative Session, Abbott signed 1,155 bills into law, including emergency items addressing property tax relief, water infrastructure, teacher pay, school choice, bail reform, and the creation of the Texas Cyber Command, while vetoing 28 bills. He has called a Special Session to reconsider some vetoed bills, including legislation related to hemp regulation, water project fees, trafficking defenses, and judiciary procedures. These legislative actions reflect Abbott's priorities of enhancing parental rights, protecting survivors, and advancing conservative policy goals across Texas.
