Statutory construction, including restrictions on the use of certain aids to construction

Texas House Bill 113 aims to clarify how laws are interpreted by restricting the use of certain external materials or aids in understanding legislative intent. This bill seeks to ensure that the interpretation of laws is based primarily on the text itself, rather than external influences.

Supporters of HB113 argue that this bill promotes clarity and consistency in legal interpretation by emphasizing the importance of the actual text of the law. It is seen as a way to prevent misinterpretation and ensure that laws are applied as intended by the legislature.

Critics of HB113 contend that the bill limits the ability to fully understand the context and purpose behind legislation by restricting the use of external aids. They argue that this could lead to rigid interpretations that don't account for the complexities of real-world applications.
