HB 302 prohibits employment discrimination based on reproductive decisions in Texas. It amends various sections of the Texas Labor Code, including Sections 21.051, 21.052, 21.053, and others, to classify reproductive decisions as a protected category similar to race, sex, religion, and age. The bill defines reproductive decisions broadly, covering choices related to pregnancy, contraception, assisted reproduction, and reproductive health services. It also voids employment agreements that limit employees' reproductive choices, such as arbitration agreements impacting reproductive decisions.
