Designates the week of September 24th to 30th each year as "Historically Black College and University Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Week"

HB 678 designates the week of September 24-30 each year in Missouri as "Historically Black College and University Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Week." The bill encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events celebrating the DEI goals exemplified by HBCUs, without creating new programs or funding. It is a ceremonial designation with no direct policy changes or affected groups beyond promoting awareness of HBCU contributions. As a procedural resolution, it does not alter existing laws or regulations. The bill is currently referred to the Emerging Issues committee in the House.
