Introduced Session

This bill concerns restrictions on certain activities relating to diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory by state entities and public institutions of higher education. The bill authorizes the attorney general to conduct an inquiry or investigation regarding a violation of current law prohibiting regents institutions, community colleges, and state entities, defined under current law to include local government entities, from engaging in certain practices regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. The attorney general is authorized to issue subpoenas, seek enforcement in district court, and contract with special counsel. The bill requires reimbursement of the attorney general by the institution, community college, or state entity for the costs, expenses, and fees incurred by special counsel. The bill requires the state board of regents, by the semester beginning fall 2028, to conduct a review of all undergraduate general education requirements and core curricula at regents institutions. For the review, the board shall direct the institutions to review and identify any required courses or course requirements that include diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory-related content. The board in its discretion shall direct an institution to eliminate such a course or course requirement. The bill requires the board to establish all policies required by the bill no later than December 31, 2026.
