House bill seeks to eliminate DEI programs in Louisiana

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Louisiana House Committee will debate a bill to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs inside state government.

House Bill 421, from State Rep. Emily Chenevert, abolishes all DEI programs, offices, positions, and employee performance requirements.

The bill would also require state agency heads to submit a written report to the Commissioner of Administration at the end of the year outlining what actions they’ve taken to comply with the proposed law.

In turn, the Commissioner of Administration will have until February 2026 to submit a report to lawmakers detailing what’s been discovered and provide any recommendations regarding DEI.

The House Governmental Affairs Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
