HB 3075 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a prohibition on the provision of state money to entities that promote certain ideological programs and the establishment of a division in the Legislative Budget Board to ensure such entities do not receive state money; authorizing the imposition of a civil penalty.

HB 3075 prohibits Texas state agencies from providing funds to organizations promoting specific "restricted ideological programs," as defined in the bill. These include programs advocating for gender transition policies, initiatives prioritizing demographic representation over merit, or theories assigning identity based on race. The bill creates a new "State Funding Integrity Review Division" within the Legislative Budget Board to enforce this prohibition and imposes civil penalties (up to the amount of improperly received funds) for knowingly misrepresenting an organization's activities. It directly affects any entity receiving state money, such as schools, nonprofits, or grant recipients, by requiring them to avoid the specified program types. This proposed legislation is currently pending in the State Affairs committee.
