H.B. No. 3075 introduces a new chapter to the Government Code, specifically Chapter 2279, which prohibits state agencies from providing funding to organizations that promote certain "restricted ideological programs." These programs are defined as those that advocate for social changes through identity-based conflict, prioritize resource redistribution based on perceived inequalities, or support nonbiological definitions of gender, among other criteria. The bill also establishes a civil penalty for entities that misrepresent their activities to receive state funding, with penalties not exceeding the amount of state money received in violation of the prohibition.

Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of a State Funding Integrity Review Division within the Legislative Budget Board. This division is tasked with reviewing state-funded grants and contracts to ensure compliance with the new prohibition, developing a vetting process for applicants, and reporting findings to state leadership. If violations are found, the division can recommend budgetary restrictions and disciplinary actions against responsible personnel. The bill stipulates that any contracts entered into before its effective date will be governed by the previous law, and state agencies must terminate any grants made in violation of the new provisions within 90 days of the bill's enactment.
