Ensure Nondiscrimination in Government.
HB 799 requires North Carolina state and city government workplaces to prohibit 13 specific concepts from training programs and hiring practices, including claims that one race is superior, individuals bear guilt for past group actions, or meritocracy is inherently biased. It bans state job applications from asking about race and prevents agencies from requiring applicants to endorse political or social beliefs as a condition of employment. Violations would be treated as employment discrimination under state law, with enforcement through existing grievance procedures. The bill explicitly excludes First Amendment-protected speech and applies only to state and city government workplaces, not private employers.

MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a 'Filed' version to 'Edition 1' with minor structural changes. The substantive policy content regarding nondiscrimination in government remains unchanged, including prohibited concepts and enforcement mechanisms. The primary differences are formatting updates, sponsor information additions, and document version identifiers.
TECHNICAL
Header formatting changed from 'H.B. 799' to 'HOUSE BILL 799' with updated session information and document identifiers.
Sponsor information expanded to include additional representatives and added a reference to the General Assembly website for complete sponsor lists.
Document version identifier changed from 'DRH40356-LR-22H' to 'H799-v-1' in the footer section.
Line numbering and paragraph structure were adjusted between the 'Filed' and 'Edition 1' versions, though the substantive text content remains identical.
