Bill 118 H.Res. 628, also known as the Eliminating the Office of Diversity and Inclusion of the House of Representatives, is a piece of legislation that aims to abolish the Office of Diversity and Inclusion within the House of Representatives. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on January 21, 2021.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion was established in 2019 with the goal of promoting diversity and inclusion within the House of Representatives. The office was responsible for developing and implementing initiatives to increase diversity among House staff, as well as providing training and resources to promote a more inclusive work environment.

They believe that diversity and inclusion are important values that should be prioritized and supported by dedicated offices and resources. In addition to abolishing the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Bill 118 also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the bill text. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 628 is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate among lawmakers and advocates for diversity and inclusion in the House of Representatives.
