Rep. JONES proposes the following amendment (LC-3927.DG0005H):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, Section 1-1-1910, by adding a subsection to read:

 (N)(1) No provision of this act shall be applied retroactively to nullify, void, or otherwise impair any existing contract entered into by state agencies or quasi-state agencies, including institutions of higher education, school districts, charter schools, and all political subdivisions of this State prior to the enactment of this section. Any attempt to interfere with existing contractual obligations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives shall be considered a violation of the Contract Clause of Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution and shall be deemed unenforceable.
  (2) If any provision of this section is found to unlawfully impair contractual agreements entered into in good faith, that provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent of its unconstitutional interference.
