Title: ●Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Government Contractors, Executive Order 11246; Exemption for Religious Entities
Abstract: On December 12, 2002, President Bush issued Executive Order 13279 regarding faith-based and community organizations that, in part, amends Executive Order 11246. Section 4 of Executive Order 13279 amends section 204 of Executive Order 11246 by adding an exemption for religious entities. The final rule would make religious entities exempt from allegations of discrimination based on religion. OFCCP regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.5 will be amended to add the new religious entity exemption. The new exemption is limited to religious discrimination by religious entities. Religious entities will continue to be precluded from basing employment decisions on race, color, sex, or national origin.
