Relating to the repeal of statutes regarding the criminality or unacceptability of homosexual conduct and to the recognition of certain same-sex relationship statuses.

SB 190 repeals Texas statutes that previously criminalized homosexual conduct and labeled it as "unacceptable" or "a criminal offense." It directly affects LGBTQ+ individuals by removing these discriminatory legal provisions and eliminating false, harmful statements from school health education materials. The bill amends health education codes to remove language claiming homosexuality is "not an acceptable lifestyle" or a criminal act under Penal Code Section 21.06. These changes ensure educational content aligns with current public health standards and removes outdated, stigmatizing language. The bill takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, if not.
