S.B. No. 1193 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, it adds a new provision that defines a reportable conviction to include violations of Section 15.032 (Child grooming), Penal Code. This change expands the scope of offenses that require registration, thereby enhancing the legal framework surrounding the monitoring of sex offenders.

The bill stipulates that the new law will only apply to offenses committed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. Offenses committed prior to this date will continue to be governed by the existing laws in effect at the time of the offense. This ensures that individuals charged with offenses before the implementation of this bill are not retroactively subjected to the new registration requirements.
