EEOC votes 2-1 to propose ending 60-year employer demographic data reporting requirement
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted 2-1 on July 21, 2026, to advance a proposal ending the EEO-1 reporting requirement, which has since 1966 compelled companies with 100 or more employees to submit annual data on the race and sex of their workers. The proposal enters a 30-day public comment period before possible finalization. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas, a Trump appointee, argued the requirement conflicts with colorblind employment law, while the lone Democratic commissioner and civil rights groups condemned the move as undermining anti-discrimination enforcement.

The split, in one line
