Texas lawmakers are evaluating Senate Bill 2713, which aims to ban Speech Code legislation that restricts trade associations from denying access based on various identity factors. Introduced by Mayes Middleton, the bill emphasizes the importance of free speech, and if passed, will take effect on September 1. The discussions feature contrasting views between proponents of free speech, like Hahn, and advocates for ethical standards, like Ryan Hainlin, who argue that free speech should not come without accountability. The bill reflects ongoing tensions between inclusivity and freedom of expression in professional settings.
Ryan talks about free speech mattering, but justice matters more, Hahn said. Nay, on the contrary, without free speech, there is no justice.
The best way to combat bad' speech is good speech, not censorship. I believe I am providing an example of what that looks like right here, right now.
It protects speech from government censorshipânot from consequence, not from accountability, and certainly not from moral scrutiny.
Texas lawmakers are weighing a state ban on legislation that may restrict trade associations from implementing conduct rules based on race, sex, and freedom of speech.
