Texas lawmakers try to close loopholes in consent laws

Season 2025 Episode 170 | 3m 54s

The lack of legal clarity around consent laws in the U.S. means that many sexual assaults, especially ones on college campuses and involving alcohol, are not legally crimes. But Texas lawmakers recently passed legislation to change that -- and the new law is set to take effect in September. Producer Courtney Norris has our look at the bipartisan bill and the woman it’s named after.
