Relating to waiver of immunity in certain employment discrimination actions in connection with a workers' compensation claim.

HB 4415 allows first responders and public employees in Texas to sue their government employers for employment discrimination (covered under Labor Code Section 451.001) when the discrimination is connected to a workers' compensation claim. It waives the government's legal immunity (sovereign immunity) for these specific cases, meaning government employers can be held liable in court. The bill applies only to claims arising on or after September 1, 2025, and does not change workers' compensation benefits themselves. This directly affects public sector workers who face discrimination while seeking workers' compensation.
