The Senate has unanimously passed the legislation in a 31 to 0 vote on Thursday
It’s a major step forward in the fight to protect sexual abuse survivors in Texas.
The Senate has unanimously passed what’s being called Trey’s Law — named after a North Texas man — a bill that would ban the use of nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, to silence victims.
Trey’s Law was sparked by high-profile abuse cases in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Despite weeks of political back-and-forth, the bill was fast-tracked through the Senate this week.
