The bill, known as Trey’s Law, passed the Texas House Monday.
DALLAS — A bill to void nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) in child sex abuse cases is officially heading to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk.
The Texas House passed the Senate version of the bill, known as Trey’s law, on Monday after the Senate version, which was authored by Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, passed in that chamber May 15.
An earlier House version of the bill, authored by Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, and Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-Dallas, unanimously passed the Texas House in early April. Because the Texas Senate didn’t pass the House version of the bill, the bill had to go back to the House for a vote before being sent to Abbott to be potentially signed into law.
