The proposed bill aims to prohibit state agencies and educational institutions in Wyoming from engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and mandates. It establishes that entities receiving state appropriations cannot use funds for DEI offices, programs, or training unless required by federal law. The bill defines "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and outlines specific actions that are prohibited, such as influencing hiring practices based on race or ethnicity, promoting differential treatment, and requiring participation in DEI training. Exceptions are made for compliance with state and federal laws, as well as for certain academic activities and research.

Additionally, the bill restricts the curriculum at the University of Wyoming and community colleges by preventing the requirement of courses related to DEI or critical race theory as part of degree programs. It mandates that students should not be compelled to enroll in such courses to fulfill academic requirements. The legislation also specifies that any academic programs focused on racial, ethnic, or gender studies may be exempt from these restrictions, provided that students are not required to take these courses for other degree requirements. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
