Webinar - Rescission of Executive Order 11246 – What It Means and What it Doesn’t Mean for Federal Contractor Employers – What We Know and What We Don’t Know
Hosted by DirectEmployers Association
2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (ET)
On January 21, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order—”Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Base Opportunity.” Among other things, this Executive Order rescinded Executive Order 11246, which was first issued in 1965 during the Lyndon Johnson administration. Executive Order 11246 was the legal basis for the requirement that federal contractor and subcontractor employers develop “affirmative action plans” to ensure that they are “not discriminat[ing] against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
Please join the attorneys from Roffman Horvitz as they discuss the implications of the new Executive Order and the role of the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) under it. They’ll also discuss what obligations federal contractors continue to have and what will be required, permissible, and forbidden under the new Executive Order.
