Bill Summary
A BILL To codify Executive Order 11246 titled ‘‘Equal Employment Opportunity’’.
AI Summary
This bill aims to codify Executive Order 11246, which was originally signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, and give it the full force and effect of law. The Executive Order focuses on equal employment opportunity, specifically addressing nondiscrimination requirements for government employment and for companies and subcontractors who do business with the federal government. By converting this executive order into statutory law, the bill ensures that the principles of equal employment opportunity, which previously existed only through a presidential directive, will now have a more permanent and legally binding status. This means that the protections and requirements outlined in the original executive order regarding preventing discrimination in hiring, promotion, and workplace practices will be explicitly written into federal law, providing a more robust legal framework for addressing employment equity.
