Texas SB306 protects expressive activities of student organizations at public institutions of higher education from discrimination based on viewpoint.

Texas SB306 amends the Education Code to ensure that public institutions of higher education cannot take action against student organizations based on political, religious, philosophical, ideological, or academic viewpoints. The bill also prohibits institutions from denying benefits to student organizations based on these factors or on requirements that leaders or members affirm the organization's beliefs or comply with its conduct standards. Institutions may be sued for violations, with sovereign immunity waived for such liability.
