A bill for an act prohibiting state entities from expending moneys to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion offices or to hire individuals to serve as diversity, equity, and inclusion officers, creating a private cause of action, and including effective date provisions.

This bill prohibits Iowa state entities (including local governments, schools, and agencies) from using public funds to create, support, or staff diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices or hire DEI officers. It defines prohibited activities broadly, including efforts related to race, gender identity, or concepts like "systemic oppression" or "anti-racism," while exempting federal compliance offices (e.g., Title IX staff) and academic departments. The law allows any individual - students, alumni, or employees - to sue a state entity for violations seeking court orders to stop funding or hiring DEI roles. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, with no sunset provision.
