Senate Bill 2 strengthens how Texas prepares for and responds to disasters. The law trains local justices of the peace to manage mass fatality events, coordinate with government agencies, and inform families. It also streamlines death investigations after natural disasters, allowing justices to skip autopsies when evidence clearly shows deaths resulted from disaster injuries and no crime occurred.
