Bill overview
House Bill 2135 aims to establish a legal framework for individuals to sue organizations in Arizona if they believe a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy violates existing laws. The bill allows plaintiffs to seek significant financial damages, including at least $100,000, as well as court costs and attorney fees, if they can demonstrate a violation. It specifically defines what constitutes a problematic DEI policy, prohibiting those that promote concepts like inherent racial or gender superiority or assign collective guilt based on race or sex.
