S.B. No. 810 is a legislative bill aimed at providing protections for public school employees in Texas regarding their use of terms that align with the biological sex of students and other employees. The bill introduces a new section, Section 22.905, to the Education Code, which explicitly states that school districts and open-enrollment charter schools are prohibited from disciplining, retaliating against, or discriminating against employees for addressing individuals in terms consistent with their biological sex.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will become effective on September 1, 2025. This legislation reflects a broader trend in educational policy concerning the treatment of gender identity and biological sex within school environments.
