Grant Authority to State Officials to Proactively Investigate DEI Violations
Problem:
State officials charged with enforcing DEI laws can sometimes investigate only by issuing subpoenas after unlawful discrimination has already occurred.
Solution:
Ensure that your state Attorney General and other state officials responsible for enforcing DEI laws are granted clear and appropriate statutory authority to proactively investigate existing DEI policies and practices, regardless of name changes and independent of a specific discrimination claim.
Why this works:
Being proactive is better than cleaning up a mess after the fact. Expanding the authority of state officials responsible for investigating DEI violations and enabling them to act proactively will help end discriminatory practices before harm occurs.
