Bill > SB0295

This bill amends existing Utah law to promote intellectual diversity and restrict certain practices within public education and state government. Key provisions include requiring educational institutions and state agencies to report on prohibited discriminatory practices and training, and prohibiting the use of "prohibited submissions" (statements or documents related to policies promoting differential treatment based on personal identity characteristics like race, sex, or religion) as a condition for employment, admission, or financial aid. The bill also restricts "prohibited training" (mandatory programs promoting prohibited discriminatory practices) in public education and higher education. Furthermore, it modifies regulations regarding student clubs in public schools, emphasizing equal treatment and prohibiting clubs from promoting discriminatory practices or degrading individuals based on personal identity characteristics. For state government, it restricts the use of prohibited submissions and training by governmental employers, with exceptions for federal law requirements. The bill also mandates that public higher education institutions host public policy events that present diverse viewpoints and make recordings of these events publicly available.
