This bill would end most federal “DEI” activities and offices. It defines certain training and policies as “prohibited DEI practices,” including treating people differently because of race, sex, religion, ethnicity, or national origin, and trainings or pledges that say one group is inherently superior, inferior, oppressed, or privileged . It cancels several past Executive Orders tied to DEI and equity efforts . Agencies would have 90 days to close DEI offices and cut those positions, while keeping traditional Equal Employment Opportunity and Americans with Disabilities Act enforcement as-is . Federal funds could not pay for DEI offices, chiefs, staff groups, equity teams, data dashboards, or related trainings; the same training limits would also apply government‑wide .

The bill extends these rules outside federal agencies too. Federal contractors could not use federal funds for DEI offices, officers, or trainings, and contracts would include terms barring work in places that require “prohibited DEI practices” . Federal advisory committees that use prohibited DEI practices could be shut down, and people could sue to force termination and seek damages and fees . In education, accrediting bodies could not push colleges to adopt prohibited DEI practices, and the Education Department could not fund DEI offices, officers, or trainings, with EEO and ADA offices preserved . The bill also repeals several DEI‑related laws and programs across housing, finance, health, defense, homeland security, and intelligence agencies .

• Who is affected: Federal agencies and employees; federal contractors; federal advisory committees; colleges and accreditors; multiple federal sectors (housing, finance, health, defense, homeland security, intelligence)
• What changes: Closes DEI offices; bans using federal funds for DEI staff, trainings, and data tools; adds contract terms; limits advisory committees; restricts accreditation and Education Department funding tied to DEI; repeals DEI‑related programs in several agencies; allows lawsuits with damages
• When: Agency DEI offices must close within 90 days of enactment; broader changes apply as agencies update rules and contracts under the bill’s timelines
