Equality in State Agencies/Prohibition on DEI

Vetoed·7/3/25

North Carolina H171 prohibits state and local government entities from using public funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

North Carolina H171 amends state statutes to prohibit state agencies, local governments, and non-state entities from using public funds to support, fund, implement, or maintain DEI programs, policies, or initiatives. This includes using DEI in hiring, employment, admissions, or contract awards, offering DEI training, or maintaining DEI offices or staff positions. Violation of this prohibition is a Class 1 misdemeanor, and offenders may be subject to removal from office or employment.
