The Texas Government Anti-discrimination Act of 2025 aims to prohibit discriminatory practices by governmental employers based on personal identity characteristics such as race, color, ethnicity, sex, national origin, or religion. The bill introduces a new chapter in the Texas Government Code, which defines "prohibited discriminatory practices," "prohibited submissions," and "prohibited training." It establishes that governmental employers cannot engage in or promote policies or training that lead to differential treatment based on these characteristics, nor can they require submissions that articulate an individual's views on such policies. The act also outlines specific definitions and exceptions, ensuring compliance with existing state and federal laws.

Additionally, the bill provides mechanisms for enforcement, allowing individuals to seek legal action through mandamus or injunction against governmental employers who violate these provisions. It establishes penalties for individuals who knowingly engage in prohibited practices, submissions, or training, classifying such offenses as misdemeanors with fines and potential jail time. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
