Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science Act

In general— This Act may be cited as the “Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science Act”.

Table of contents— The table of contents of this Act is as follows:

the efforts of the Federal Government to support the domestic semiconductor industry and increase our science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (referred to in this Act as “STEM”) workforce capacity is imperative for the United States to remain technologically competitive;

such efforts should prioritize speed and leverage all relevant STEM talent in the United States, without regard to race, color, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation;

programs, initiatives, and other activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (referred to in this Act as “DEI”) allow preferential treatment based on the characteristics described in paragraph (2);

these activities are discriminatory and divisive, and deviate away from the main objectives and priorities, actively adding more bureaucracy and neglecting to provide equal opportunity to all STEM workers and students; and

repealing or amending programs and requirements related to DEI that were passed into law as part of the CHIPS Act of 2002 (division A of Public Law 117–167; 136 Stat. 1372) and the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act (division B of Public Law 117–167; 136 Stat. 1399) (commonly known, collectively, as the “CHIPS and Science Act”) will restore the original intention.
