To codify Executive Order 11246 titled "Equal Employment Opportunity".

Bill 119 HR 989, also known as the "Equal Employment Opportunity Act," aims to codify Executive Order 11246, which was originally issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that all individuals have equal opportunities for employment, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

The bill requires federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure that their employees are treated fairly and without discrimination. This includes implementing policies and practices that promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as well as providing equal pay for equal work.

Additionally, the bill prohibits discrimination based on factors such as age, disability, genetic information, and sexual orientation. It also establishes reporting requirements for federal contractors to track their progress in promoting equal employment opportunities. Overall, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act seeks to uphold the principles of fairness and equality in the workplace, and to ensure that all individuals have the chance to succeed based on their skills and qualifications, rather than their personal characteristics.
