"The bill, also known as the Texas Women's Privacy Act, requires government buildings, schools and colleges to restrict access to bathrooms and locker rooms based on sex assigned at birth. Institutions that allow trans people to enter bathrooms that align with their chosen gender will be fined with $25,000 first-time fines and $125,000 subsequent penalties per day. The bill also enables individuals to sue agencies if they are impacted by a violation of the law."
"Paxton, who once called the LGBTQ+ community "immoral", has uploaded a form to his website that allows the public to report trans people in line with Senate Bill 8. Paxton launched the form on his website on Wednesday (17 December). The form requires a copy of the initial complaint to the accused institution and also has an option for submitting photos, despite the fact that taking photos inside a restroom is illegal."
The Texas attorney general posted an online form allowing public reports of transgender individuals who use bathrooms that align with their chosen gender. The form references Senate Bill 8, the Texas Women's Privacy Act, which mandates that government buildings, schools and colleges restrict bathroom and locker-room access based on sex assigned at birth. Institutions that permit transgender people to use facilities matching their gender identity face fines of $25,000 for a first offense and $125,000 for subsequent daily penalties. The law also allows individuals to sue agencies harmed by violations. The form requires a copy of an initial complaint and permits photo submissions despite restroom photography being illegal.
