Best new law? Login/Join

Lots of changes to the PC and CCP from the recent legislative session. What is the best new law?

My nomination:

A statutory forfeiture by wrongdoing exception. Texas now will have a codification of the SCOTUS case that provides a broad exception to the hearsay rules, permitting the jury to hear from a missing witness or victim if the absence was caused by the defendant.

Details.
