The bill amends the composition of the Sexual Assault Survivors' Task Force by adding new members and updating the titles of existing members. Specifically, it introduces the president of the Texas Emergency Nurses Association and the president of the International Association of Forensic Nurses Texas Chapter as new members of the task force. Additionally, it modifies the numbering of existing members to accommodate these additions, while removing the previous references to the statewide organization described by Section 264.409, Family Code, and the state sexual assault coalition, as defined by Section 420.003.

The changes aim to enhance the representation of healthcare professionals and forensic experts within the task force, thereby improving the task force's ability to address issues related to sexual assault and support survivors. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
