Eliminate DEI in the Military Act

# Eliminate DEI in the Military Act (HR 461) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit the Department of Defense, military branches, and military academies from using federal funds to conduct diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities. This would include training programs, initiatives, and other activities focused on these topics. If passed, the military would be barred from spending taxpayer money on these specific types of programs. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects the Department of Defense, all branches of the Armed Forces, and military service academies (like West Point).

It would also impact military personnel who currently participate in or lead DEI-related training and initiatives, as well as any contractors who provide such services to the military. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. As of now, it remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
