HR 3273 United States House · 118th Congress

Eliminate DEI in the Military Act

HR 3273, the "Eliminate DEI in the Military Act," prohibits federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities across all military branches, national service academies (like West Point and Annapolis), and the Department of Defense. It blocks the use of any federal money for DEI-related training, programs, educational materials, jobs, or appointments within these entities. The bill directly affects military personnel, academy students, and DoD employees by preventing funding for DEI initiatives. It does not ban DEI activities entirely but restricts their implementation through the denial of federal resources. This is a funding restriction, not a new policy or program.
