The bill aims to revise human rights laws in Montana by prohibiting state and local government agencies from requiring or requesting diversity statements from individuals. It explicitly states that these agencies cannot grant any preferential treatment based on the submission of such statements. However, an exception is made for situations where federal law mandates the acceptance of diversity statements, in which case the agencies must limit their consideration of the information to what is necessary to comply with federal requirements. Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not restrict agencies from implementing policies to comply with state or federal laws regarding discrimination and harassment.

The bill also includes definitions for key terms, such as "diversity statement," which is described as any submission intended to promote differential treatment based on various personal characteristics, including race, gender, and religion. Furthermore, it defines what constitutes a "state or local government agency," encompassing various branches and units of government. The provisions of this bill are intended to be codified as a new chapter in Title 49 of the Montana Code.
