This bill takes a number of steps to cut out affirmative action and DEI-related efforts from public law. For example, it reorients the “Equity Assistance Center,” renaming it the “Equality Assistance Center” and shifting its goals such that it is now supposed to help schools with nondiscrimination efforts instead of affirmative action initiatives. It also strikes a number of provisions that forced the Department of Education to devise plans to increase the number of minority teachers in the state. CPAC opposes the racism perpetuated by affirmative action and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 18-12 but the bill was defeated in the House.
