Fifth Circuit Upholds Enactment of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned a federal district court’s decision to block the enforcement of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) against the State of Texas. Following the passage of the PWFA in 2022, the State of Texas sued to enjoin the law, arguing that the U.S. House of Representatives exceeded its authority in enacting the PWFA in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s quorum requirements. A federal district court agreed and had enjoined the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from enforcing the law as to the State of Texas—until the Fifth Circuit’s ruling.
