Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations
This executive order directs federal agencies to catalog all criminal regulatory offenses, establish default mental-state (mens rea) requirements for future criminal enforcement, and discourage prosecution of strict liability regulatory crimes where defendants lacked knowledge of the rule. It exempts immigration and national security enforcement from its scope.
Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees
This executive order mandates COVID-19 vaccination for all federal employees across executive agencies, with exceptions only as required by law. The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force must issue implementation guidance within 7 days, and each agency must then create its own vaccination program.
Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service
EO 13957 created a new 'Schedule F' classification for federal career employees in policy-making or confidential roles, moving them from competitive service to excepted service. This allowed agencies to hire and fire these employees more easily without competitive civil service procedures or chapter 75 adverse action protections. The order required agencies to review and petition to reclassify eligible positions within 90 days (preliminary) and 210 days (complete).
Promoting Accountability and Streamlining Removal Procedures Consistent With Merit System Principles
This executive order directs federal agencies to make it easier to remove poor-performing or misconduct-prone civilian employees by streamlining disciplinary procedures, limiting opportunity periods for improvement to 30 days, eliminating requirements for progressive discipline, and restricting union grievance procedures over removals. It mandates data collection on adverse personnel actions and requires OPM to issue implementing regulations and guidance.
Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees
This executive order requires all new executive branch political appointees to sign a binding ethics pledge that imposes lobbying restrictions, gift bans, and recusal requirements. It replaces the Obama-era ethics order with new rules including a 5-year post-employment lobbying ban on the former agency and a ban on lobbying any covered executive branch official for the remainder of the Administration.
Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel
This executive order requires all executive branch appointees hired on or after January 20, 2009, to sign a binding ethics pledge that imposes a two-year revolving door ban between lobbying and government service, prohibits gifts from registered lobbyists, bars departing appointees from lobbying the administration, and mandates merit-based hiring decisions. The order establishes enforcement mechanisms including civil penalties and debarment, with waiver authority vested in the OMB Director.
Protecting American Taxpayers From Government Spending on Wasteful Earmarks
This executive order directs federal agencies to ignore non-statutory earmarks—those found in congressional committee reports, communications from lawmakers, or other non-binding sources—when committing or spending funds. It requires agencies to base funding decisions solely on statutory text and merit-based criteria, and mandates public disclosure of written congressional earmark requests within 30 days of receipt.
Providing Opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran Businesses To Increase Their Federal Contracting and Subcontracting
This executive order directs federal agencies to increase contracting opportunities for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans by meeting a 3% participation goal, designating senior officials, developing public strategies, and creating reserved contracts. It also assigns specific duties to the Small Business Administration, General Services Administration, Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Labor departments to support these businesses through training, assistance, and outreach programs.
Amendment to Executive Order 13202, Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards Government Contractors' Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded Construction Projects
This executive order amends EO 13202 to add an exemption clause allowing agency heads to excuse specific construction projects from the order's anti-project labor agreement (PLA) requirements if those projects already had bid specifications, project agreements, or contracts containing PLA-related requirements in place as of February 17, 2001. The amendment effectively grandfathers in existing projects that would otherwise violate the new prohibition on mandatory labor agreements.
Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards Government Contractors'Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded Construction Projects
This executive order prohibits federal agencies from requiring or prohibiting project labor agreements (PLAs) on federal and federally funded construction projects, effectively banning mandatory PLAs while allowing voluntary ones. It revokes the Clinton-era policy encouraging PLAs on federal projects and directs regulatory changes within 60 days.
Amendment to Executive Order 13073, Year 2000 Conversion
This executive order amends Executive Order 13073 to establish the Information Coordination Center (ICC) within the General Services Administration to support the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion. The ICC is tasked with facilitating information sharing and coordination across federal agencies and public/private sectors, assessing Y2K emergencies affecting U.S. interests, and assisting in system reconstitution if needed.
Computer Software Piracy
This executive order directs all executive agencies to prevent and combat computer software piracy by establishing procedures to ensure only authorized software is used on government computers. It requires agencies to inventory software, maintain recordkeeping systems, and educate personnel on copyright compliance, while also extending expectations to contractors and federal financial assistance recipients. The Chief Information Officers Council is tasked with issuing initial recommendations within 6 months to improve government-wide practices.
Protecting Federal Employees and the Public From Exposure to Tobacco Smoke in the Federal Workplace
This executive order establishes a smoke-free environment in federal workplaces by prohibiting tobacco smoking in all interior spaces owned, rented, or leased by the executive branch, with limited exceptions for specially designed smoking areas. It provides a one-year phase-in period for implementation and encourages agency heads to establish smoking cessation programs.
Federal Information Technology
This executive order establishes a comprehensive framework for improving federal information technology management, creating agency Chief Information Officers (CIOs), and forming three interagency bodies: the CIO Council, Government Information Technology Services Board, and Information Technology Resources Board. It mandates strategic IT investment reviews, performance measurement, and coordinated governmentwide infrastructure development.
Regulatory planning process
This executive order establishes an annual regulatory planning process requiring executive agencies to submit draft regulatory programs to OMB, which then reviews, compiles, and publishes a unified Administration Regulatory Program. It centralizes presidential oversight of rulemaking, mandates consistency with administration priorities, and creates mechanisms to block or return regulatory actions that deviate from the published plan.
President's Advisory Committee on Mediation and Conciliation
This executive order establishes a 13-member presidential advisory committee on labor mediation and conciliation, chaired by the Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, with equal labor and management representation. The committee is tasked with advising on improving arbitration efficiency under collective bargaining agreements and reviewing FMCS regulations, with a mandatory report due within nine months of establishment. The committee automatically terminates 60 days after submitting its report or by September 30, 1988, whichever comes first.
Multinational Force and Observers reports
This executive order delegates to the Secretary of State the President's reporting function under the Multinational Force and Observers Participation Resolution, and requires interagency consultation with OMB, Defense, Arms Control, National Security Advisor, and other agencies as appropriate.
