Spotlight: New Justice Laws
2021 Bill Analysis Guide
In August, 2021, the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition (TCJC) released a guide analyzing positive justice legislation that became law during Texas’ 2021 regular session. The majority of bills go into effect on Wednesday, September 1. The guide, which analyzes both youth and adult justice legislation, is organized by issue area. New laws cover every step of the system, from policing and arrest through reentry and family reunification. The laws also apply to school-based practices that aim to prevent the school-to-prison pipeline, plus community-based supports that address substance use and behavioral health issues.
