Dismantle DEI Act of 2024

The Dismantle DEI Act of 2024 would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies by rescinding related executive orders, closing DEI offices, and prohibiting federal funding for DEI training and activities. The bill defines "prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practice" to include training that asserts certain racial or ethnic groups are inherently superior or inferior, and bans federal funds from being used for such programs. It would apply to federal offices, training, contracting, grants, advisory committees, and education programs, with enforcement through private lawsuits and penalties of $1,000 per violation per day. The bill specifically exempts Equal Employment Opportunity offices and offices enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act from these restrictions.
