Bill > HB06193

This bill seeks to prohibit the Office of Equity and Opportunity (OEO) from receiving any state funding to support its operations or functions. The proposed legislation would amend existing state statutes to completely defund the office, effectively eliminating its financial support from state resources. The bill's purpose is straightforward: to stop all state financial allocation to the OEO, which would likely result in the office being unable to continue its work due to lack of funding. While the bill does not explicitly dissolve the office, removing all state funding would essentially prevent the office from functioning, potentially impacting its ability to carry out its mission of addressing equity and opportunity issues within the state government or broader community. The bill appears to be a direct move to terminate the financial viability of the Office of Equity and Opportunity through budgetary means.
