Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

Relating to parental rights in public education, to certain public school requirements and prohibitions regarding instruction, diversity, equity, and inclusion duties, and social transitioning, and to student clubs at public schools.

Where Orgs Stand

SB 12 bans teachers and other school employees from 'assisting' a student with 'social transitioning', which includes honoring their chosen name and pronouns. It bans clubs specifically dedicated to supporting queer and trans students, like GSAs and SAGAs. It requires school employees to out trans and queer students to their parents. It also allows any parent with an enrolled student in the school district to report 'violations' about a child that is not their own, emboldening a culture of surveillance, distrust, and violations of privacy.

Bill passed during 89th Regular Session and went into effect September 1st, 2025.
