Certification Regarding Prohibition Against Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training
OpenGov · Notification Template. The Florida Legislature passed a DEI Bill, effective January 1, 2027, that prohibits Florida local governments from funding, promoting, or taking official action related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and efforts. Local government agencies must be in compliance with this law as of January 1, 2027. As such, Section 287.139, Florida Statutes, requires the contractor to certify they will not use County funds in requiring its employees, contractors, volunteers, vendors, or agents to ascribe to, study, or be instructed using materials relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion as defined in section 125.595(1), Florida Statutes. Review the official project, eligibility, response instructions and all addenda before acting.
