SB2602

Mississippi SB2602 aims to prohibit public schools and institutions of higher learning from engaging in certain diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Mississippi SB2602 amends the state code to restrict public schools and institutions of higher learning from establishing diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, promoting hiring or admissions based on race, sex, color, or national origin, and requiring diversity training. The bill also prohibits the use of state funds to favor individuals based on these characteristics. It allows for the withholding of state funds for violations and provides a process for investigating complaints and seeking judicial relief.
