HB 2704 defines biological sex in Texas law and establishes legal requirements for sex-specific spaces in government-operated facilities. The bill requires public schools, correctional facilities, family violence shelters, and other state-run institutions to designate restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters for exclusive use based on biological sex. It prohibits policies allowing individuals to use facilities that do not align with their sex assigned at birth and allows affected individuals to file lawsuits for enforcement. The bill also waives governmental immunity for lawsuits arising from violations of these provisions.
