Relating to the prohibition of certain discrimination; authorizing civil penalties.

SB 150 prohibits discrimination in Texas public accommodations (businesses serving the public) based on race, color, disability, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or military veteran status. It bans refusing service, discriminatory communications, or advertising that denies equal access to these protected groups. The bill authorizes civil penalties for violations and establishes a process for individuals to file complaints with the Texas Workforce Commission. This directly affects businesses operating as public accommodations and individuals seeking services or goods.
