Affirmative action requirements for state agencies repealed.

Summary

The bill removes the state’s legal requirements that state agencies develop and follow affirmative‑action plans, eliminates the definition of protected groups, and cancels reporting, audit and certification rules tied to those plans. It would leave employment decisions to be based solely on merit without the current affirmative‑action framework. The change aims to simplify hiring rules but would end state‑wide programs intended to address historic under‑representation of women, minorities, and people with disabilities.
