The bill establishes new provisions in Florida law that prohibit counties and municipalities from engaging in any official actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). It specifically forbids local governments from funding or promoting DEI initiatives, including the establishment of DEI offices or hiring DEI officers, and declares any existing DEI-related ordinances, resolutions, or policies void. Local officials who violate these provisions may face charges of misfeasance or malfeasance in office, and residents are granted the right to bring legal action against local governments for violations, with courts authorized to award relief, damages, and costs.

Additionally, the bill mandates that recipients of county and municipal contracts or grants must certify that they do not require their employees, contractors, or agents to engage with DEI materials. It emphasizes compliance with state and federal laws that ensure access to public health services based on race or ethnicity and acknowledges biological differences between genders for health, safety, and welfare purposes. The prohibition against using DEI materials will apply to contracts with DEI officers existing as of January 1, 2027, and to all other contracts executed or renewed after that date, with the act set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
