Relating to preventing discrimination in membership in a professional or trade association.

SB 2713 prohibits professional and trade associations (like bar associations or industry groups) from denying membership or services based on race, religion, sex, disability, national origin, or protected speech/assembly activities. It overrides any conflicting bylaws and directly affects both associations and individuals seeking membership. The bill creates a private legal remedy, allowing affected people to sue for damages or court orders if discrimination occurs, with courts able to award attorney fees to winning parties. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
