General Assembly, Statement of Intent or Position - Urges support of DEI programs in the private sector. -

HJR 111 is a non-binding resolution from the Tennessee General Assembly urging private corporations to maintain Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. It states that discontinuing such programs would negatively impact corporate revenue as consumers would choose companies committed to DEI. The resolution claims DEI promotes equal opportunity, economic efficiency, and societal inclusion, and it expresses the Assembly's position that corporations should uphold these principles. This resolution does not create new laws or requirements but formally states the legislature's view on DEI in the private sector.
