Presentation Overview:

Florida’s Individual Freedom Bill (House Bill 7), nicknamed the Anti-WOKE Act, prohibits mandatory training by employers on certain specified concepts. The Anti-WOKE Act also provides employees with a private cause of action, expanding the risk of civil liability against employers for discriminatory employment practices. The law is slated to go into effect on July 1, 2022. In this presentation, Lindsay Dennis Swiger will explain how the Anti-WOKE Act may impact your organization’s employee training programs and what steps you can take now to bring your training programs into compliance with this new law.
