Revise human rights laws to prohibit diversity, equity, and inclusion programs

This bill would prohibit state and local government agencies in Montana from funding, establishing, or supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. It specifically bans spending public money on such initiatives, requires employees to participate in them, or creates offices dedicated to coordinating these programs. The legislation defines diversity, equity, and inclusion programs narrowly as those requiring employee participation in training or activities focused on power structures, privilege, or specific social theories related to race, gender, and identity. The bill includes exceptions for programs required by federal law, court orders, or certain constitutional educational goals, while allowing agencies to continue offering sexual harassment training and compliance offices.
