Relating to certain requirements and penalties regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at a medical and dental unit.

This bill (SB 2614) exempts medical and dental units at Texas public universities from certain requirements related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in academic courses. It specifically clarifies that DEI restrictions under the Education Code do not apply to academic instruction offered by these units. If a medical or dental unit uses state funds for prohibited academic instruction, it must correct the violation within 90 days to avoid penalties. The law applies starting the 2025-2026 academic year, directly affecting how these units structure their courses and manage state-funded programs.
