AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.

This bill would turn a long-standing presidential order on equal employment opportunity into permanent law. In simple terms, it would make the rules against job discrimination in federal employment and in jobs held by government contractors and subcontractors legally enforceable by Congress, rather than relying only on an executive order.

  • It applies to nondiscrimination in federal government jobs.
  • It also applies to companies and workers doing business with the government, including contractors and subcontractors.
  • The bill would give the 1965 equal employment order the same force as a law passed by Congress.
