Relating to a prohibition on diversity, equity, and inclusion or LGBTQ indoctrination by state agencies.

HB 172 prohibits Texas state agencies from promoting "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) or LGBTQ-related content in their operations. It requires all state agency actions - including policies, employment practices, communications, curricula, and contracts - to treat people equally regardless of race, color, or national origin, while mandating that all actions comply with the "biological reality" of only two sexes (male/female). The bill invalidates any agency action violating these requirements, including DEI initiatives or content related to LGBTQ identities. This directly affects all state agencies, contractors, and programs receiving state funding or oversight.
