The North Carolina House advanced its own restrictions on diversity, equity and inclusion practices for state agencies.
The House’s bill passed on Wednesday focused on barring workplace DEI policies and programs at state agencies.
A Senate bill passed earlier this month would bar certain DEI practices and programs from colleges and universities. The University of North Carolina System already implemented its own limitations on DEI last year.
GOP lawmakers’ approval of the bills signals their support for President Donald Trump’s ongoing push against diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
