Relating to repealing certain restrictions and prohibitions regarding labor unions.
HB 5315 repeals two specific legal restrictions affecting labor unions in Texas: Subchapter B of Chapter 101 in the Labor Code and Section 15.05(e) of the Business & Commerce Code. These provisions previously limited union activities, and their removal takes effect September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects labor unions by eliminating these existing barriers to their operations. It does not create new rights but removes defined restrictions from state law.
