Prohibits expenditures by state departments for certain diversity initiatives

Summary

The bill bars any state department from using funds for intradepartmental programs, staffing or initiatives that promote diversity, equity and inclusion or similar efforts that give preferential treatment based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin or ancestry, or that advance concepts such as collective guilt or limiting speech. It still permits compliance with anti‑discrimination laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and it prevents agencies from requiring private employers to adopt such programs as a condition for state contracts. The measure failed to pass.
