Relating to civil and criminal liability for engaging in certain conduct involving a critical infrastructure facility; creating criminal offenses.

HB 1947 creates new criminal offenses for damaging or disrupting critical infrastructure facilities in Texas. It defines "critical infrastructure" to include pipelines, airports, military installations, semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. The bill makes it a crime to enter such facilities without consent and intentionally damage them (Section 424.051), or to disrupt operations through physical disturbances within 15 miles (Section 424.052). These provisions apply to anyone engaging in these specific actions without the owner's consent, targeting conduct that could threaten essential services. The bill focuses on concrete legal penalties for defined infrastructure threats, not broader policy impacts.
