Liability for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Law Violations

This bill would allow people to sue companies, schools, government agencies, and other organizations that use certain banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Successful lawsuits would guarantee at least $100,000 in damages, plus other compensation and legal costs, and could result in a court order to stop the policy; claims must be filed within three years. The bill targets DEI, critical race theory (CRT), and anti-racism policies, especially those suggesting one race or sex is superior, the U.S. is fundamentally racist or sexist, or that people should feel guilt based on race or sex.
