Dismantle DEI Act of 2024 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and organizations tied to the federal government. Federal workers could lose DEI offices, trainings, and related workplace programs. Contractors, grant recipients, colleges, advisory committees, and financial regulators could have to change or separate DEI work to avoid using federal money for banned activities.

Why this matters: This bill would change how the federal government handles race, sex, religion, national origin, and DEI work. It would move many DEI fights from agency policy into federal civil rights law and the courts. Supporters may see that as a return to equal treatment. Critics may see it as a rollback of tools used to find and address unfair barriers.

Key provisions in H.R. 8706

The bill creates a new legal term: “prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practice.” It adds that term to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and uses it across many parts of the bill.
The bill cancels several executive orders and national security memos issued since 2021. Those orders dealt with racial equity, gender policy, DEI in the federal workforce, and LGBTQ+ human rights.
Federal agencies would have 90 days to close offices and programs created to carry out the canceled orders. The bill also calls for staff cuts and bars moving those workers into similar roles.
The Office of Personnel Management and the Office of Management and Budget would have to update or remove related rules, guidance, and training. They would also have to make those materials match the bill.
Federal agencies could not use money approved by Congress to run many DEI offices, chief diversity officer roles, DEI plans, equity teams, employee resource or affinity groups, or DEI data dashboards. Equal Employment Opportunity offices and Americans with Disabilities Act enforcement offices could continue.
