2026-17641, Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) proposes revising Federal sector EEO complaint rules to streamline processing, improve effectiveness, and implement the Cummings Act. The rule would end mandatory pre complaint counseling and remove the option to request administrative judge proceedings before a final agency decision. Complainants could seek such proceedings only on appeal, and the EEOC would order them only when necessary or efficient. The rule would bar administrative class complaint adjudication while preserving putative class assertions for exhaustion. The rule also allows joint processing of related individual complaints and updates pleading standards, mixed case procedures, attorney fee provisions, and required reports.

2026-13637, Rescission of Guidelines on Affirmative Action Appropriate Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as Amended

Basically, the government is clearing the slate to keep things fair and up-to-date!
