Texas SB2723 repeals the offense of homosexual conduct and mandates specific content in sexual education programs.

Texas SB2723 repeals the offense of homosexual conduct under the Penal Code. It amends the Health and Safety Code to require sexual education programs for individuals under 18 to emphasize sexual abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage. These programs must also state that homosexual conduct is not an acceptable lifestyle. The Act takes effect September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, in which case it would take effect immediately.
