Rep. Janis Holt wrote a bill that aligned with the priorities set by Texas Republicans.

Priority #3: Stop Sexualizing Texas' Kids

HB2710
The bill died in the House State Affairs Committee, chaired by Republican Ken King
HB 2062, also referred to as the "Texas Women's Privacy Act," seeks to regulate access to certain private spaces, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and shelters, based on a person's biological sex as stated on their birth certificate. The bill mandates that government entities, including state agencies and political subdivisions, enforce sex-based access policies for such facilities and outlines exceptions, accommodations, and civil penalties for violations. It also provides for the investigation and enforcement of violations by the Texas Attorney General and establishes immunity protections for state and local governments.

Its companion, SB 240 by Sen. Mayes Middleton, also died in the House State Affairs Committee, chaired by Republican Ken King.

As a result, it's now on the Governor's special session agenda.
