EEOC Releases New National Enforcement Plan, Reorienting Agency Priorities for 2025-2029

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has approved a new National Enforcement Plan (NEP) for fiscal years 2025 through 2029. This plan rescinds and replaces the previous Strategic Enforcement Plan, resetting the framework that will guide the agency's activities, including investigations, litigation, and outreach, with a pronounced pivot toward intentional discrimination claims and DEI-related issues.
