Plain Language Summary
# DEI to DIE Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The DEI to DIE Act (HR 800) proposes to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and initiatives across federal agencies and federal contractors. The bill would prohibit federal agencies from funding, operating, or promoting DEI programs and would restrict federal contractors from implementing similar programs as a condition of receiving government contracts. It would also address related personnel and procurement policies in federal agencies. **Who It Affects:** This bill would directly impact federal employees and agencies, as well as private companies that contract with the federal government. It would affect any ongoing DEI hiring, training, or workplace initiatives in these sectors.
The bill's subjects indicate it touches on hiring practices, workplace discrimination policies, and how federal agencies spend money on personnel and programs. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill is in committee and has not been passed. It was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Cory Mills (R-FL). Like most bills in committee, it would need to advance through the legislative process, including committee votes and floor debate, before it could become law.
