SF0103HS001

This amendment expands the scope and definitions of prohibited diversity, equity, and inclusion activities by adding public educational institutions, broadening the definition of prohibited practices, and clarifying what constitutes related content.

• Expands the prohibition to apply to both state agencies and public educational institutions by inserting 'public' before 'agencies'. (Page 1, line 3)
• Changes the standard for prohibited practices from 'in reference to' race, color, or ethnicity to explicitly 'to promote differential treatment or special benefits based on' those characteristics, narrowing what conduct is prohibited. (Page 2, line 17)
• Changes the standard for prohibited trainings, programs or activities from 'in reference to' gender dysphoria to explicitly 'to promote differential treatment or special benefits for persons based on' gender characteristics, narrowing what conduct is prohibited. (Page 2, line 23)
• Adds a new category (E) to the definition of diversity, equity and inclusion that prohibits any program, policy or practice that prioritizes group identity over individual merit or promotes outcomes based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin unless explicitly required by federal law. (Page 3, after line 4)
• Limits the definition of 'entity' to governmental entities by inserting 'governmental' before 'entity'. (Page 3, line 21)
• Clarifies the definition of 'related content' to mean instruction advocating the concepts prohibited by the statute, establishing a direct connection between prohibited content and the statute's specific prohibitions. (Page 8, line 4)
