Key Points

This bill expands the mission of diversity offices at federal financial agencies. These offices currently focus on women and minorities, but this change would add LGBTQI+ individuals to their goals.
Federal agencies would have to include LGBTQI+ people in their hiring and promotion efforts. It also requires these agencies to seek out businesses owned by LGBTQI+ people when they buy goods or services.
The bill defines an LGBTQI+ owned business as one where more than 50 percent of the company is owned and controlled by LGBTQI+ people. This helps ensure that government spending reaches a wider range of business owners.
This law would apply to several major government groups, including the agency that oversees home mortgages and the one that protects consumers from bank fraud. The goal is to make sure the financial industry reflects the diversity of the country.
