This bill aims to establish new regulations in the North Dakota Century Code to address prohibited discriminatory practices in both higher education and K-12 education. It defines "personal identity characteristic" to include aspects such as race, color, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, and gender identity. The legislation outlines what constitutes a "prohibited discriminatory practice," which includes policies that assert superiority or inferiority based on these characteristics, promote differential treatment, or require individuals to express their views on such matters. Institutions are barred from requiring or soliciting "prohibited submissions" or "prohibited training" that could foster discrimination.

Additionally, the bill mandates biennial compliance reviews by educational institutions, overseen by the state board of higher education and the board of school districts, with potential consequences for non-compliance, including the withholding of state appropriations. It emphasizes the importance of academic freedom and freedom of speech, requiring annual training for faculty and staff. The bill also establishes a process for handling complaints against school districts for alleged violations and clarifies that certain federally mandated submissions are exempt from these prohibitions. Overall, the legislation seeks to limit the promotion of specific ideologies in public education and government employment while ensuring compliance with federal laws regarding discrimination.
