State Legislatures Advance Preemption Bills Reflecting Trump-Era Policies
State lawmakers across the U.S. are advancing preemption bills that echo policies from President Trump's administration, particularly concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and gender identity. Florida and Iowa have passed bills restricting local governments' DEI policies and anti-discrimination ordinances. Tennessee has enacted a law preventing local regulation of private-sector employment. These measures, primarily sponsored by Republicans, aim to limit local government authority, reflecting a broader trend of state-level preemption.
