Committee recommends ‘do not pass’ on bill addressing DEI offices, citing existing code

The Senate Education Committee voted 6-0 to recommend a do-not-pass on Senate Bill 2,392, which the bill sponsor said would have addressed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) offices at higher education institutions and other public entities. The sponsor told the committee he had learned during review that most of the bill's aims already exist in state code and therefore moved a do-not-pass recommendation.
