HB 2274 establishes a commission to review Texas penal laws that exist outside the Penal Code, the Health and Safety Code’s controlled substance laws, and motor vehicle-related offenses. The commission, composed of nine appointed members, will assess these laws for redundancy, ambiguity, and unnecessary regulation, recommending amendments or repeals as needed. Additionally, the bill increases criminal penalties for certain offenses and transfers some existing statutes into the Penal Code. It also imposes a civil penalty for frivolous legal claims related to consumer protection. The commission is set to submit a final report by November 1, 2026, and will be dissolved on December 31, 2026.
