MODERATE
This bill was amended to narrow its focus from requiring both implicit bias training for state employees and management training for public officials to only requiring annual implicit bias training for state employees and certain public officials. The amendment also added the legislative ethics commission as a partner in delivering this training and clarified that the training program should follow standards set by that commission.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the requirement for mandatory annual management training for the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, and other high-level officials, while retaining the implicit bias training requirement for these officials and all state employees.

Added requirement that employers must provide implicit bias training in cooperation with the legislative ethics commission, following an annual program established by that commission.
