Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would prohibit state and local government entities, including agencies, school districts, and public universities, from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any person or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, education, contracting, or administration.
What each outcome does
If approved, race-, sex-, ethnicity-, color-, and national-origin-based preferences in public hiring, education, contracting, and administration would be constitutionally prohibited, similar to California's Proposition 209.
If rejected, current state and local affirmative action and diversity programs would continue to operate under existing law.
