No DEI in DC Act

This bill would bar the District of Columbia government from engaging in or funding certain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, including DEI-related training, DEI offices, chief diversity officers, equity teams, and employee affinity groups. It would abolish 16 DC offices and commissions, including the offices of racial equity, the offices on Latino, African-American, Asian and Pacific Islander, and LGBTQ affairs, the Commission for Women, and the Commission on Reparations, and would bar DC from creating similar successors. It would repeal or change many DC laws, including LGBTQ-related homeless shelter rules, disadvantaged business contracting programs, racial equity reviews in budgeting, and the LGBTQ Pride license plate. Any person could sue in federal court over violations, with awards of at least $1,000 per violation per day. The law would take effect 90 days after enactment.
