Senate Bill 2375, described by the presenter as a "general code update" prepared by the Texas Legislative Council, was laid out to the Senate Committee on Administration and reported favorably to the full Senate by unanimous roll call.

Why it matters: The bill bundles non‑substantive technical revisions — such as renumbering, fixing duplicate citations and conforming enacted codes to their source law — aimed at maintaining an orderly statutory code. The presenter said the Texas Constitution limits this work to non‑substantive revisions and that the legislative council's legal staff has taken care to avoid changes that would alter substantive law.

What the committee heard: Senator Cook presented the bill on behalf of Senator Johnson. Jeff Archer, executive director of the Texas Legislative Council, testified that the measure consolidates hundreds of pages of cleanup from the prior legislative session and that two additional related code bills will follow from the House. Archer said the bill contains no criminal penalties or fiscal note. Committee members thanked the legislative council staff for their interim work and asked about the council's ongoing revision processes.

The clerk called the roll on a motion to report the bill favorably; the committee recorded 7 ayes and 0 nays and reported the bill to the full Senate and recommended it for the local and uncontested calendar.

Ending: The committee advanced SB 2375 to the full Senate; committee staff and the legislative council will continue to work on further code revision packages mentioned by the presenter.
