1291-AA44 202110 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1291 Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management OASAM 1200 Department of Labor DOL Revisions to the Rule Implementing the Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

The purpose of this action is to revise the implementing regulations for the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) found at 29 CFR part 38 which are authorized in section 188 of WIOA. Section 188 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. However, DOL’s implementing regulations for section 188 were issued before the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, 140 S. Ct. 1731 (2020), and do not provide that discrimination based on sex includes discrimination based on sexual orientation.
