will dissolve the district’s DEI committee and eliminate any job duties relating to DEI. District employees will also be prohibited from using staff time to pursue DEI initiatives, the statement said. However, this change affects only the government and not the companies that operate inside the district and would seem to eliminate contracting protocols that in the past gave special consideration of women and minority owned businesses during the procurement processes.
said it estimates the previous district spent millions of dollars finding businesses who helped meet these DEI quotas. DeSantis signed a bill establishing state power over Reedy Creek in February, almost a year after then-Disney CEO Bob Chapek apologized for declining to comment on Florida’s controversial bill, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by critics, to restrict certain classroom instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity, CNN previously reported.
