According to the Legislative Budget Board (LBB), SB 2375 is not expected to have any fiscal impact on the state budget. The bill is limited to non-substantive revisions, codifications, and corrections within existing Texas statutes and does not create, amend, or repeal law in a way that alters current legal duties, funding streams, or regulatory enforcement costs. As such, no additional expenditures or savings are projected for state agencies or departments as a result of this legislation​.

Similarly, there are no anticipated fiscal implications for local governments. The bill does not impose any new mandates on municipalities, counties, or other local governmental entities. Since it does not introduce new programs or affect existing financial obligations at the local level, it is administratively and fiscally neutral for these entities​.

This outcome is typical for legislation produced under the Texas Legislative Council’s statutory revision program, whose goal is purely technical and organizational rather than policy-driven. Overall, S.B. 2375 is a cost-neutral bill designed to enhance the structure and clarity of the law without impacting the state's fiscal position.

This legislation is a continuation of the Texas Legislative Council’s statutory revision program—a nonpartisan effort authorized by the Texas Constitution to maintain the clarity and internal consistency of Texas law without altering its substance. The bill exclusively makes non-substantive revisions: it codifies statutes that were omitted, corrects drafting errors, reconciles inconsistent amendments, and renumbers or redesignates statutory sections to prevent confusion​.

The bill affects more than 20 major Texas codes, including the Agriculture Code, Penal Code, Government Code, Transportation Code, and others. These changes are procedural in nature and serve to align legislative enactments from the 88th session with pre-existing statutory frameworks. Because it is expressly limited by Article III, Section 43 of the Texas Constitution to non-substantive revisions, it does not expand government power, impose new mandates, or alter citizens’ legal obligations​.

The Legislative Budget Board has also confirmed that SB 2375 will have no fiscal impact on either state or local governments​. This aligns with the bill’s narrowly defined function of legal maintenance. The bill does not delegate rulemaking authority, create new programs, or shift funding responsibilities.

In light of these factors—constitutional mandate, legal neutrality, technical necessity, and fiscal inertness—SB 2375 supports the principle of Limited Government by ensuring statutory precision without expanding state authority. It modestly enhances Individual Liberty and Personal Responsibility by making the law more accessible and logically structured. Therefore, Texas Policy Research recommends that lawmakers vote YES on SB 2375.

• While the bill does not create or expand rights, it strengthens individual liberty by making the law more coherent and accessible. Individuals benefit when laws are easier to read and interpret, reducing the risk of misapplication or bureaucratic overreach. SB 2375's clarifications empower citizens to understand and assert their legal rights without needing expert legal interpretation.
• By improving clarity in the law, the bill enhances a citizen’s ability to act responsibly within legal boundaries. When legal obligations and expectations are better organized and clearly codified, individuals are more likely to comply and take ownership of their conduct. This reinforces the principle that citizens should be accountable for their actions within a knowable legal framework.
• Businesses, especially small ones without in-house legal teams, benefit from unambiguous and consistent legal codes. By cleaning up duplicative, outdated, or inconsistent provisions, SB 2375 reduces regulatory confusion and compliance burdens. While it doesn't deregulate or reduce costs directly, it promotes a more stable environment for enterprise.
• SB 2375 does not make changes to property law or regulatory takings doctrine. However, clearer statutory language in areas such as the Natural Resources Code or Local Government Code can indirectly protect private property rights by reducing interpretive ambiguity that could otherwise be used to justify encroachments.
• This is the strongest alignment. SB 2375 exemplifies limited government in action: it performs necessary housekeeping without expanding regulatory power, imposing new laws, or spending public funds. It also respects constitutional constraints (Article III, Section 43) by limiting itself to non-substantive revisions and maintaining fidelity to legislative intent​.
