Ending Divisive DEI Bureaucracies in State Agencies

2025 - North Carolina House of Representatives

Conservatives Support

Description

This bill prohibits state agencies from running divisive DEI programs that sort employees by race, ideology, or identity instead of merit, and it bars the use of these ideological litmus tests in hiring and promotion. It stops taxpayer dollars from funding an activist bureaucracy that undermines equal treatment and injects left?wing politics into core government functions. CPAC opposes DEI mandates and supports a color?blind, merit?based government and supported this bill. The Senate passed this bill on 2025-06-25 by a vote of 26-20. The House passed this bill on 2025-06-26 by a vote of 60-48. The Governor vetoed this bill.
