Dismantle DEI Act of 2025

S. 382, the Dismantle DEI Act of 2025, is a bill introduced in the Senate that would target diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the federal government. Based on the policy areas and subjects listed, the bill would likely affect DEI initiatives across multiple federal agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and various other executive agencies, as well as federal education programs and employment practices.

If enacted, this legislation could result in the elimination or restructuring of diversity-related programs, hiring practices, and advisory bodies within federal agencies. This could impact federal employees, job applicants, and individuals who benefit from or participate in federally-funded education and training programs that incorporate diversity initiatives. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in February 2025 and referred to committee for consideration.
