Bill > HB2135

This bill establishes a new legal avenue for individuals to sue organizations in Arizona that implement "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) policies, which the bill defines broadly to include concepts like critical race theory, anti-racism, and specific beliefs about race, sex, and inherent superiority or guilt. If a person's rights are violated by such a policy, they can file a civil lawsuit against a "covered entity," which is any corporation, organization, institution, or agency in Arizona subject to laws prohibiting DEI policies. Successful plaintiffs can receive declaratory relief, injunctions to stop the policy, at least $100,000 in damages, compensatory damages, and their court costs and attorney fees. Such lawsuits must be filed within three years of the violation.
