Texas · 90th Legislature Regular Session
HB810Relating to the prohibition of certain discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression; providing an administrative penalty.
Adds 'gender identity or expression' to multiple anti-discrimination statutes covering public accommodations, employment, housing, and state contractors, so more legal protections and recognition for transgender people.
"Gender identity or expression" means having or being perceived as having a gender-related identity, appearance, expression, or behavior, regardless of whether that identity, appearance, expression, or behavior is different from that commonly associated with the individual's actual or perceived sex.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds definitions and prohibitions against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression in public accommodations (with narrow exceptions for certain supportive services), employment (including state contractors), housing, and related areas; it also strikes prior exclusions related to sexual orientation and transvestites from the disability definition. This expands legal recognition and protections for transgender people under the transgender topic. No provisions address firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
