Hispanic Employment in the Federal Government
This executive order directs federal agencies to establish programs recruiting and developing Hispanic employees to address their underrepresentation in the federal workforce (6.4% vs. roughly 13% of the civilian labor force). It mandates specific agency actions including eliminating systemic barriers, improving outreach, and tying executive performance to diversity goals, while requiring OPM to issue regulations, create an interagency task force, and report annually on progress.
Increasing Opportunities and Access for Disadvantaged Businesses
This executive order directs federal agencies to increase contracting opportunities for Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), 8(a) program firms, and Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) through aggressive outreach, goal-setting, enforcement of subcontracting requirements, and limits on contract bundling. It mandates specific participation rates, reporting mechanisms, and coordination with the Small Business Administration to overcome historic underutilization in federal procurement.
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Sex, Color, National Origin, Disability, Religion, Age, Sexual Orientation, and Status as a Parent in Federally Conducted Education and Training Programs
This executive order prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, color, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, and parental status in all federally conducted education and training programs. It requires executive agencies to establish complaint procedures, mandates Attorney General-issued implementing regulations, and establishes annual then triennial reporting requirements on complaints and their disposition.
To Prohibit Discrimination in Federal Employment Based on Genetic Information
This executive order prohibits federal agencies from discriminating against employees, job applicants, or former employees based on genetic information or use of genetic services. It bars agencies from requesting, collecting, or disclosing protected genetic information except in narrow circumstances, and requires such information be kept separate from general personnel files.
Supporting Families: Collecting Delinquent Child Support Obligations
This executive order directs federal agencies to use administrative offsets—deducting from federal payments—to collect past-due child support obligations. It also requires agencies to deny certain federal financial assistance (loans, guarantees, insurance) to individuals delinquent on child support, with due-process protections established by the Attorney General.
Government-to-Government Relations With Native American Tribal Governments
