AI Summary

This bill would require certain Department of Defense contractors, referred to as "covered contractors," to submit annual reports on the diversity and inclusion of their workforce, board of directors, and senior leadership. The reports would include detailed information such as the total number of employees, the demographic breakdown of employees by job category, the value of subcontracts, and the contractor's participation in diversity programs. The Secretary of Defense would then be required to submit an annual summary report to Congress compiling and analyzing the data from the contractor reports. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability around diversity and inclusion in the defense industrial base.
