This bill aims to formally establish Executive Order 11246 , known as "Equal Employment Opportunity," as a federal statute. The Executive Order, originally signed in 1965, currently governs nondiscrimination practices within specific employment sectors. Its primary effect is to ensure that all provisions of the Executive Order, which relate to nondiscrimination in government employment and in employment by government contractors and subcontractors , are legally binding. Codifying this order would grant it the full force and effect of statutory law, thereby strengthening its protections against discrimination.
