And what I mean by that is... What's her name?

Angela Paxton.

Um, she's done a lot of good for kids in Texas.

Um, her husband's a politician too, and so she knew the ropes.

And, um, yeah.

She was a ride or die champion on this in Texas.

Then there's a representative named Mitch Little.

And he's a practicing attorney in the area of child sexual abuse.

So, as we were drafting the bill, we had a constitutional issue.

So, under the Texas... I think it's even in the Bill of Rights, not just in the Constitution, but no retroactive laws can be made.

And I really, in Texas, needed the law to be retroactive because...

It's my brother's story, right?

It's that student of Senator Paxton's story.

That they were put under these NDAs, uh,

you know, after the Pete Newman scandal.

So, they needed this to be retroactive to be freed from their NDAs.

Otherwise, it's just helping future victims, which is still good, but the conflict with the Constitution in Texas was an issue.

And in Missouri, it's not retroactive because we have to address the constitutional conflict there.

But Mitch Little, being a brilliant lawyer,

He came up with a loophole and he said, anyone who wants to enforce an existing NDA has to get a special court order to keep it in effect.
