DE HCR107

Directs the House of Representatives and Senate to consider amending their respective rules to include evidence-based implicit bias and cultural competency training for all members when the 152nd General Assembly convenes.

Requires implicit bias and cultural competency training to be mandatory for all new members and at least once per General Assembly thereafter.

Establishes training requirements similar to existing sexual harassment and workplace harassment training mandated under House Rule 16A and Senate Rule 18.

Acknowledges that unconsciously held implicit biases erode trust, cause poor interpersonal interactions, and harm diverse workplaces with members from varied racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds.

Calls for members to be mindful and aware of implicit cultural and racial bias in all communications—oral, written, and electronic—when interacting with the public, colleagues, and staff.
