H.B. No. 2000, also known as Audrii's Law, amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include the offense of child grooming as a reportable conviction or adjudication under the sex offender registration requirements. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that defines a violation of Section 15.032 (Child grooming), Penal Code, as a reportable offense. This inclusion aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding the registration of sex offenders and ensure that individuals convicted of child grooming are subject to the same registration requirements as those convicted of other serious sexual offenses.

The bill clarifies that the changes apply only to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the law, which is set for September 1, 2025. Offenses committed prior to this date will be governed by the existing laws in effect at that time. The legislation received unanimous support in both the House and Senate, reflecting a strong legislative commitment to protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse.
