SB 2492 prohibits financial institutions from declining services to individuals based on a "social credit score"—a rating system that evaluates a person’s political beliefs, religious affiliations, speech, or refusal to disclose such activities. The bill applies only to financial service providers with at least $100 billion in transactions per year and requires them to provide a written explanation if they deny services due to a customer’s actions. Violations are classified as deceptive trade practices under Texas law.
