SB 1423: Relating to the designation of a portion of Farm-to-Market Road 2275 in Gregg County as the Bill Stoudt Parkway.

SB 1423 names a specific segment of Farm-to-Market Road 2275 in Gregg County (between U.S. Highway 259 and Spur 502/Judson Road) as the "Bill Stoudt Parkway." The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to install markers at each end of this road segment and at appropriate intermediate locations. This is a purely procedural bill that changes the road's official name and signage; it does not alter transportation policies or affect any residents or businesses. The bill was signed into law on June 20, 2025, and took effect September 1, 2025.

SB 2798: Relating to certain statutes of limitations for criminal offenses, including the statute of limitations for certain fraud offenses.

SB 2798 extends the "no statute of limitations" rule to specific fraud offenses under Texas law, meaning prosecutors can pursue these cases indefinitely without time limits. It directly affects defendants accused of certain fraud crimes and prosecutors handling such cases, as it removes the previous deadline for filing charges. The bill amends Article 12.01 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to include these fraud offenses under existing categories where prosecution is permitted without time restrictions. The law became effective September 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor on June 20, 2025.

HB 5652: Relating to the creation of the Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 258; granting a limited power of eminent domain; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

HB 5652 creates Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 258 to provide water, sewer, and road infrastructure services in a defined area of Montgomery County. The district can use limited eminent domain authority for utility projects, issue bonds to fund infrastructure, and impose assessments, fees, and taxes on property owners within its boundaries. This directly affects landowners in the district, who will pay for services through these assessments and fees. The bill establishes the district's governance structure and confirms its public purpose under Texas law.

SB 269 requires physicians to report certain serious adverse reactions to federal systems (VAERS for vaccines, MedWatch for drugs) when patients receive experimental/investigational vaccines or drugs approved for emergency use by the FDA. It defines "serious adverse events" as those causing death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Physicians must report within one year of vaccination/drug administration if they diagnose the condition and know the patient received a covered vaccine or drug. Violations may result in non-disciplinary corrective action for first offenses or disciplinary measures by the Texas Medical Board for repeat failures. The law applies only to non-routine vaccines/drugs, excluding standard vaccines and clinical trial uses.

HB 1422: Relating to the rights of victims of sexual assault and other sex offenses, the offense of continuous sexual abuse, and the prosecution, punishment, and collateral consequences of certain sex offenses; creating a criminal offense; increasing criminal penalties; changing the eligibility for community supervision, mandatory supervision, and parole for persons convicted of certain sex offenses.

HB 1422 changes sentencing for certain sex offenses by prohibiting probation or parole for people convicted of 17 specific crimes, including continuous sexual abuse (Penal Code §21.03), sexual assault (§22.011), and trafficking (§20A.02). It applies to offenses involving child victims, aggravated cases, or those with prior sex offense convictions. The law removes eligibility for community supervision, mandatory supervision, or parole, requiring full prison sentences for these offenses. This takes effect September 1, 2025, following gubernatorial approval on June 20, 2025.

HB 1586: Relating to an exemption from required immunizations for school enrollment.

HB 1586 creates a standardized affidavit form for parents or guardians seeking immunization exemptions for school enrollment. The form must include a statement explaining the benefits and risks of both immunizations and not being immunized. The health department must provide this form online or by mail without collecting personal information, and can only track how many times the form is accessed (not who uses it). This change applies starting the 2025-2026 school year.

SB 1061: Relating to procedural requirements for uranium mining production area authorizations.

SB 1061 streamlines uranium mining permit applications by creating an "uncontested matter" process for specific cases. It requires applicants to include groundwater quality restoration values within predefined ranges and baseline well data for each production zone. This change applies only to applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025, and removes contested hearing requirements for qualifying applications. The bill directly affects uranium mining companies seeking permits and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in processing these requests.

The bill also requires a limited-scope review of the Texas Funeral Service Commission specifically focusing on willed body programs, non-transplant anatomical donation organizations, and anatomical facilities. This legislation, signed into law by the governor on June 20, 2025, directly affects these state agencies and their regulatory oversight.

SB 6: Relating to the planning for, interconnection and operation of, and costs related to providing service for certain electrical loads and to the generation of electric power by a water supply or sewer service corporation.

SB 6 establishes new requirements for large electricity users in Texas, specifically those with a single-site demand exceeding 75 megawatts (or a lower threshold set by the commission). It requires these large users to disclose if they’re pursuing similar electricity service requests elsewhere, while protecting their submitted information from unauthorized sharing. The bill also mandates that utilities (including cooperatives and municipal systems) must pass through reasonable interconnection costs to these large users. This affects major commercial and industrial electricity consumers and their utility providers across Texas’s ERCOT power region.

HB 163: Relating to the possession and administration of epinephrine delivery systems by certain entities.

HB 163 updates Texas law regarding epinephrine auto-injector policies. It exempts schools, sports organizations, and government entities that already have policies for epinephrine systems under other laws from needing separate rules. The bill allows these entities to adopt their own policies for maintaining, administering, and disposing of epinephrine delivery systems. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and repeals prior sections of the Health and Safety Code related to this matter.

SB 2367: Relating to the authority of certain counties to enact certain park use rules.

SB 2367 clarifies which Texas counties can create rules about park use, specifically targeting counties with certain population sizes or geographic relationships (like those adjacent to large counties). It prohibits qualifying counties - such as those with 2.8 million+ residents, those bordering such counties, or smaller counties near three large counties - from adopting rules regulating fireworks in parks. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to these defined county types. This is a narrow restriction on local authority, not a broad policy change.
