S 382 would eliminate DEI offices across all federal agencies within 90 days and lay off employees whose jobs are tied to those offices. Federal money could not be used for DEI-related training, positions, or programs, and several Biden-era executive orders promoting equity and inclusion would be canceled. Federal employees could not be required to take DEI training or sign identity-related statements as a condition of employment or advancement.
The bill affects federal workers, federal job applicants, military personnel, government contractors, grant recipients such as universities and nonprofits, and financial institutions regulated by the federal government. College accrediting organizations would also face restrictions on requiring DEI programs as a condition of accreditation.
Companies and universities that rely on federal contracts or grants would need to restructure or defund their DEI operations to remain eligible for that funding. Existing civil rights offices and offices that enforce disability law would remain in place under the bill.
