7 changes following KXAN’s investigations in 2024
SUMMARY: In 2024, KXAN’s investigations prompted significant changes in Texas. They uncovered key evidence in the mysterious death of a 14-year-old girl, leading to a revised autopsy. A fatal crash into an Austin ER resulted in new safety ordinances for hospitals and statewide legislation for bollards. A report on a tutor with a misconduct history led to new legislation expanding access to state records. KXAN also highlighted gaps in Texas’ truancy tracking system and the need to modernize the state’s death inquest system. Other investigations led to the end of the City of Austin’s waste dumping practices in neighborhoods.
