Summary

The bill would bar any public K‑12 school, school district, or state‑funded college in Missouri from spending state money on DEI programs, courses, or activities. Institutions that do so would have to repay the funds, lose all state aid for that fiscal year, and could be denied future funding until they fix the violation. It aims to eliminate state support for DEI initiatives in education.
