Relating to the establishment of the Texas Pay Equity Task Force.

HB 2111 establishes the Texas Pay Equity Task Force to study pay disparities based on gender, disability, or race among employees of state agencies, counties, and municipalities. The task force, composed of nine appointed members, will request payroll data (including protected characteristics) from these entities, analyze whether disparities exist, and develop recommendations to address them if found. It must submit a final report to state leadership by November 2026, and the task force will dissolve on June 1, 2027. The bill directly affects public employers and requires them to provide requested payroll information for the study.
