Texas is considering HB 2466, a statewide ban-the-box bill that would restrict when employers can ask about criminal history.
The bill applies to public employers and private employers with 15 or more employees, but excludes certain regulated positions.
If enacted, HB 2466 would take effect September 1, 2025, requiring updates to hiring policies and practices.
