Staff Report

Over 600 new laws signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott go into effect today in Texas. The new laws passed during the 87th Legislative Session include a bill limiting abortions, constitutional carry legislation and penalties on defunding police departments.

"The 87th Legislative Session was a monumental success, and many of the laws going into effect today will ensure a safer, freer, healthier and more prosperous Texas," Abbott said. "I look forward to my continued work with the legislature to build upon these successes and create an even brighter future for the Lone Star State."
