The First 90 Days: Developments Since Executive Order 11246 Was Rescinded

On January 21, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14173, which rescinded Executive Order 11246 (the legal basis for the requirement that federal contractor employers prepare affirmative action plans for women and minorities). Executive Order 14173 also established a framework for ensuring that federal contractor employers do not have unlawful diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs—one of several new Executive Orders addressing DEIA programs and practices. Employers were given a 90-day window—until April 21, 2025—during which they were permitted to comply with the Executive Order 11246 regulatory scheme.

In this webinar, the attorneys from Roffman Horvitz will take stock of all the developments related to federal contractor non-discrimination obligations and employer DEIA programs during this 90-day period of permissive compliance with the old regulations. They will use this information to provide insights on the compliance landscape going forward and how employers can assess future options for their workforce inclusion programs.
