EDUCATION: Requires school-level reporting by public schools and postsecondary education institutions on programs related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and requires the state Department of Education and the Board of Regents to submit summary reports to certain legislative committees (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill requires public postsecondary education institutions in Louisiana to submit annual reports detailing programs focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The reports must include specific information such as program purposes, descriptions, the number of staff involved, and the total state funding used, while explicitly excluding athletics, sororities, fraternities, and academic curricula. School boards and the Board of Regents are tasked with compiling and forwarding these aggregated reports to various legislative committees by the end of 2024 and early 2025. Additionally, the legislation amends existing state statutes to clarify reporting requirements and repeal previous sections related to similar disclosures.
