Trump Administration Proposes Elimination of OFCCP, Launches New Opinion Letter Program for Labor Guidance
The Trump administration plans to completely eliminate the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and transfer the agency’s remaining authority to enforce protections in federal contractors for veterans and workers with disabilities to other agencies, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) recent budget document. Meanwhile, the DOL has announced the launch of its “opinion letter program” that could provide employers with additional guidance on the administration’s revamp of the department and new enforcement priorities.
