Texas SB2868 amends the Labor Code to address unlawful employment practices based on sexual harassment, including civil actions and damages.

Texas SB2868 amends the Texas Labor Code to redefine sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances or conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with work performance or creates a hostile environment. It allows individuals to file civil actions for damages related to sexual harassment without needing to file a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission. The bill sets a two-year statute of limitations for such actions and limits compensatory and punitive damages based on the size of the respondent's workforce.
