The first section of the act states that it can be officially referred to as the "Dismantle DEI Act of 2024."

This section outlines the table of contents for an act that covers several areas like federal offices, training, contracting, grants, education, and enforcement, focusing on prohibiting diversity, equity, and inclusion practices across various federal entities. It includes details on the rescission of executive orders, management of funds, contract and grant terms, responsibilities of advisory committees, and standards for education, as well as provisions for enforcement and severability.

The section defines "prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practice" as any action that discriminates based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin. It also includes requiring employees to undergo training or agree to statements that claim any of these traits are superior, inferior, oppressive, oppressed, or privileged.

The section defines prohibited practices regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion, which include discriminating based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, or national origin, and mandating participation in programs or signing documents that deem certain groups as inherently superior, inferior, oppressed, or privileged.

The section outlines that several Executive Orders and National Security Memoranda related to racial equity, gender equality, and diversity are being canceled and will no longer have legal effect or funding support. It also specifies that affected government programs or offices must be closed within 90 days, and employees from these programs cannot be reassigned or their roles converted.

The section outlines that within 180 days, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management must revise its materials to align with the new act, eliminate previous regulations related to certain executive orders, and dissolve the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, as well as the Chief Diversity Officers Executive Council. It also amends the law to prohibit racist behavior and training within the government, establishing new standards and oversight to ensure compliance with these rules.

The Office of Management and Budget must update its rules, policies, and guidance within 180 days to align with the new Act, cancel regulations based on certain executive orders, and modify or replace a specific circular—with emphasis on removing references to diversity, equity, and inclusion that don't align with equal opportunity or civil rights principles.

The section outlines restrictions on the use of federal funds, prohibiting them from being used to support offices or activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility within federal agencies. However, it allows for the continuation of Equal Employment Opportunity offices and programs related to the Americans with Disabilities Act as they have historically operated.

The section mandates that any Federal agency with an office related to diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility must close that office within 90 days, reduce staff accordingly, and is not allowed to reassign those workers. However, it clarifies that Equal Employment Opportunity offices and offices enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act can continue as they have been.

The bill section amends U.S. law to prohibit taking action against employees or job applicants for not completing or signing certain diversity-related trainings or documents, and it ensures that performance evaluations cannot penalize individuals for similar reasons. It aims to prevent discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, or national origin in workplace practices and appraisals.

Congress has proposed changes to training programs for government employees, forbidding programs that involve diversity, equity, and inclusion or suggest that any group is superior or inferior. This proposal also restricts training that focuses on critical theory or related concepts, and it ensures that no employee can be forced to participate in such programs.

The section specifies that no government funds are allowed to be used for creating or purchasing training courses in federal agencies that involve topics like diversity, equity, inclusion, or theories on race and gender. It also states that these courses cannot require people to claim that certain races, religions, or other identity groups are inherently better or worse than others.

The section updates existing U.S. law to ensure that government contracts exceeding $10,000, as well as other contracts, cannot be performed in locations where prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practices are present, as defined by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This means that contractors and subcontractors must avoid participating in such practices in their working environments.

The section amends United States Code Title 40 to prohibit discrimination in federally assisted programs based on race, color, sex, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. Additionally, it bans mandatory compliance with certain diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and mandates federal agencies to enforce these rules, similar to how they address racial discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, without limiting individuals' rights to pursue other legal actions.

The section prohibits discrimination based on race, color, biological sex, ethnicity, religion, or national origin in programs receiving federal assistance and forbids certain diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. It also mandates federal agencies to enforce these rules, while allowing individuals to seek other legal remedies if needed.

The section prohibits the use of federal funds by contractors for activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and training courses that imply superiority or oppression based on characteristics like race or gender. However, it allows for funding of Equal Employment Opportunity offices and enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as letting contractors use their own non-federal funds as they see fit.

The proposed bill amendment requires that any grant given by a federal agency must include terms prohibiting the use of funds for offices or activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion, or certain types of training courses unless it's for an Equal Employment Opportunity office or similar programs. Recipients are allowed to use non-federal funds as they choose.

The section outlines that a government agency cannot grant funds to any recipient for purposes like maintaining diversity offices, employing diversity officers, or creating training related to diversity or theories on race and gender. However, it does allow for the maintenance of Equal Employment Opportunity offices and enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as long as federal funds are not used for prohibited activities.

The text in this section of the bill outlines restrictions for cooperative agreements involving federal funds. Under this proposal, such agreements cannot include funds for activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, such as maintaining diversity offices or offering related training courses. However, it clarifies that this does not affect Equal Employment Opportunity offices or similar programs, which can still be funded as usual.

Under Section 6311, executive agencies are prohibited from entering cooperative agreements that use federal funds for diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility offices and officers, specific training courses, or certain prohibited practices. However, it allows continued funding for Equal Employment Opportunity offices and similar entities, and permits the use of non-Federal funds as determined by the involved parties.

This part of the bill modifies the Federal Advisory Committee Act to prohibit certain diversity, equity, and inclusion practices within advisory committees. It allows courts to order the termination of committees found in violation and provides for possible financial penalties and relief if a prohibited practice is implemented.

The section outlines rules against implementing certain diversity, equity, and inclusion practices within federal advisory committees. It states that if these practices are prohibited and occur, the committee could be terminated based on findings by an Administrator, Inspector General, or court action, with potential penalties and very specific measures and awards for people who bring successful legal actions.

The section outlines the responsibilities of the Administrator to amend existing regulations and enforce compliance with the Dismantle DEI Act of 2024.

In this section, agency heads are required to set up consistent guidelines and controls to follow the Dismantle DEI Act of 2024. Additionally, amendments are made to ensure agencies comply with this Act by updating certain parts of section 1007 in title 5 of the United States Code.

The section amends the Higher Education Act to ensure that accrediting agencies don't force colleges to adopt certain diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, commit to specific beliefs, avoid constitutionally protected activities like religious practices, or face discrimination for participating in religious activities.

The section amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to prohibit the Secretary of Education from using federal funds to support offices or training programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. However, it clarifies that this does not affect Equal Employment Opportunity offices or compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, nor does it restrict the use of non-federal funds.
