HB 2753 strengthens protections against workplace retaliation for individuals who report or oppose sexual harassment. It explicitly extends anti-retaliation protections to individuals involved in complaints, investigations, or legal proceedings related to sexual harassment. The bill also allows victims of sexual harassment to file civil lawsuits without first filing a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission. It establishes a two-year statute of limitations for these civil actions and removes existing caps on compensatory and punitive damages for sexual harassment claims​.
