Texas HB903 repeals the offense of homosexual conduct and mandates specific sexual education content in schools.

HB903 repeals the offense of homosexual conduct under Texas law.

Additionally, it mandates that course materials state that homosexual conduct is not an acceptable lifestyle and is a criminal offense. The bill specifies that these changes take effect on September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, in which case it would take effect immediately.
