The Impact of Rescinding Executive Order 11246 on Federal Contractors: What HR Professionals Need to Know

March 18, 2025

The recent revocation of Executive Order 11246 introduces new challenges for federal contractors, particularly in affirmative action and equal employment opportunity requirements. While certain provisions related to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin have been rescinded, critical statutory obligations under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) remain unchanged. HR professionals, legal teams, and compliance officers must adapt quickly to this evolving regulatory environment to uphold federal disability and veterans' employment requirements.
