AI Summary

This bill, known as the Dismantle DEI Act of 2025, aims to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices across federal government agencies, institutions, and contractors. The bill defines a "prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practice" as any discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin, and prohibits training or workplace requirements that assert any group is inherently superior or inferior. Key provisions include rescinding previous executive orders related to DEI, closing DEI offices in federal agencies, prohibiting federal funds from being used for DEI-related activities, and barring federal contractors and grant recipients from maintaining DEI offices or conducting DEI training. The bill affects numerous government sectors, including the Office of Personnel Management, federal training programs, contracting, grants, advisory committees, education, housing finance, and intelligence agencies. It establishes enforcement mechanisms that allow individuals to bring civil actions against violations, with potential damages of at least $1,000 per violation per day, and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found unconstitutional, the rest remains in effect.
