SB 240 establishes the Texas Women's Privacy Act, which mandates that private spaces in public facilities owned or operated by state agencies or political subdivisions be designated based on biological sex. It allows exceptions for specific circumstances, such as assisting disabled or young children. The act outlines civil penalties for non-compliance and provides a mechanism for complaints and enforcement through the attorney general. Sovereign immunity protections are also addressed within the bill.
