The bill adds restrictions on federal funding for graduate medical schools that adopt diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

  • 20 U.S.C. 1011

    SEC. 124. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR CERTAIN GRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOLS. (a) Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no graduate medical school at an institution of higher education shall be eligible to receive funds or any other form of financial assistance under any Federal program, including participation in any federally funded or guaranteed student loan program, unless the institution certifies to the Secretary that the institution does not, and will not, do any of the following: ...

    This establishes new eligibility criteria for federal funding, prohibiting support for medical schools that engage in specific diversity-related practices.

  • 20 U.S.C. 1099b(a)

    (9) if such agency or association has or seeks to include within its scope of recognition the evaluation of the quality of institutions or programs offering graduate medical education, such agency or association shall, in addition to meeting the other requirements of this subpart, demonstrate to the Secretary that the agency or association does not require an institution or program to adopt any policies or other requirements in contravention of section 124 as a condition of receiving accreditation from the agency or association.

    This imposes additional requirements on accrediting agencies to ensure they do not mandate policies contrary to the new restrictions for graduate medical schools.
