DEI to DIE Act

This bill, known as the "DEI to DIE Act," seeks to eliminate all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs, policies, and mandates across the Federal Government. It asserts that these programs are discriminatory, wasteful, and contrary to the principle of equal dignity and respect. The legislation mandates the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to coordinate the termination of all such initiatives, regardless of their specific name. To achieve this, the bill requires federal agencies to terminate all DEI, DEIA, and "environmental justice" offices, positions, equity action plans, grants, and performance requirements within 60 days. The Director of OPM must review and revise all existing federal employment practices, union contracts, and training policies to ensure compliance, emphasizing that employment decisions should reward individual initiative , skills , performance , and hard work , without considering DEI or DEIA factors. Agencies are also required to report on their existing DEI programs and their associated costs, and monthly meetings will be held to monitor progress and advise the President on civil rights policies.
