Abbott signs into law CROWN Act banning racebased hair discrimination
"AUSTIN (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill prohibiting race-based hair discrimination in Texas workplaces, schools and housing policies.
House Bill 567, introduced by Democratic Rep. Rhetta Bowers of Rowlett, sailed through both chambers of the Legislature with overwhelming support after the same bill stalled during the legislative session in 2021. The policy, which Abbott signed Saturday, will go into effect Sept. 1.
Twenty states have passed the CROWN Act - an acronym for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, according to the CROWN Coalition, an organization that champions the legislation. Harris County, the state's most populous, and the city of Austin have adopted versions of the legislation."
