AI Summary

This bill prohibits the state of Arizona and its agencies from using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs for hiring, training, or promotion purposes, and also forbids requiring employees to participate in such programs or making participation a condition of a contract. DEI programs are defined as those that require participation in activities like training or workshops that focus on justifying different treatment or benefits based on characteristics such as sex, color, gender, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The bill also mandates that the Department of Administration monitor state hiring practices to ensure DEI programs are not being used in these prohibited ways.
