Digest
HB 3573 prohibits governmental entities in Texas from awarding contracts or giving preferential treatment based on race, color, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Additionally, the bill repeals the state’s historically underutilized business (HUB) program, which was designed to promote minority- and women-owned businesses in state contracting. The bill ensures that any contracts entered into before its effective date remain governed by the prior law.
