South Dakota law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from operating diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) programs under this new law. Agencies cannot require employees to attend DEI training, spend public money on DEI initiatives, hire DEI coordinators, or contract with organizations that promote such programs. The law defines DEI programs as any practice that provides preferential treatment or classifies people based on race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.
