Under the bill, the Office for Equity and Inclusion must establish programs to implement and enforce the plan established by the Council for Equity and Inclusion.
Also, under the bill, the head of each executive branch entity represented on the Council for Equity and Inclusion must appoint an officer for equity and inclusion, and each such officer must develop and implement an annual plan for equity and inclusion that must be submitted to the council for review and approval.
