What this bill would do
The "Dismantle DEI Act of 2025" aims to ensure equal protection and prevent racism within the Federal Government. It defines and prohibits specific diversity, equity, or inclusion practices that involve discrimination or required assent to certain ideologies. The bill rescinds several existing Executive Orders and memoranda related to racial equity and gender identity. It mandates the closure of various diversity offices and the termination of specific federal training programs. Additionally, the Act imposes strict limitations on how federal funds are used for federal contracting, grants, and cooperative agreements. Finally, it establishes enforcement mechanisms that include a private cause of action for individuals.
