EEOC Unveils Proposed Rule to Eliminate EEO Reporting Requirements
Short summary
The EEOC issued a proposed rule to rescind all federal EEO reporting requirements including annual EEO-1 filings, estimating $278.4 million in annual cost savings. The Commission argues the demographic reports are potentially unconstitutional and not narrowly tailored to enforce anti-discrimination laws. Current reporting obligations remain in effect until a final rule is issued, and the EEOC would still retain authority to seek records during investigations.
