The Republican Party of Texas is a non-government organization that can demand its members (politicians) follow a code of conduct.

Yep, I completely misread it the first time. I thought it was a law they were trying to pass, not something for party members.

Pretty sure government organizations can impose a code of conduct, though they're usually framed as laws or regulations. Hatch Act would be one example.

Edit: though I guess it might depend on how you define "code of conduct."
