The proposed bill establishes new sections in Florida law that prohibit counties and municipalities from engaging in any official actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Specifically, it defines DEI efforts as actions that manipulate employee composition based on race, sex, or other characteristics, and prohibits funding or promoting such initiatives. Any existing ordinances or policies related to DEI are declared void, and officials who violate these provisions may be charged with misfeasance or malfeasance. Additionally, residents can bring legal action against local governments for violations, with courts authorized to award relief and damages.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that potential recipients of county or municipal contracts or grants must certify that they will not use public funds for DEI-related training or materials. This certification is required before any contract or grant is awarded. The bill includes exceptions for actions required by state or federal law and allows for the recognition of certain holidays and observances. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
