Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations To Better Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal Self-Determination
This executive order directs federal agencies to reform how they administer funding and programs for Tribal Nations, with the goal of reducing bureaucratic burdens, increasing flexibility, and better fulfilling trust responsibilities. It mandates a multi-year assessment of unmet federal obligations led by OMB and the Domestic Policy Advisor, and requires agencies to streamline application processes, respect Tribal data sovereignty, and promote self-governance through compacts and co-management agreements.
Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability
This executive order directs the federal government to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through transforming federal procurement and operations, including 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2030, 100% zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035, and net-zero emissions buildings by 2045. It establishes new governance structures including a Federal Chief Sustainability Officer and requires agencies to set targets, develop sustainability plans, and incorporate environmental justice considerations.
Promoting Access to Voting
This executive order directs federal agencies to expand voter registration access and election information, particularly for historically underserved groups including people of color, people with disabilities, military personnel overseas, Native Americans, and individuals in federal custody. It mandates strategic plans, website modernization, and interagency coordination to reduce barriers to voting.
Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to- Nation Relationships
This memorandum directs all federal agencies to develop detailed tribal consultation plans within 90 days and submit annual progress reports, reaffirming Executive Order 13175 and the 2009 Presidential Memorandum on tribal consultation. It establishes a reporting structure through OMB and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships with Tribal Nations.
Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers
This executive order strengthens domestic procurement preferences by establishing a new Made in America Office within OMB to centralize and tighten waiver review, requiring agencies to maximize use of U.S.-made goods in federal spending. It mandates regulatory changes to increase domestic content thresholds, creates public transparency for waivers, and revokes several Trump-era executive orders on the same topic.
Protecting the Federal Workforce
This executive order revokes Trump-era policies that weakened federal employee protections, including Schedule F (which would have made career civil servants easier to fire) and three 2018 executive orders restricting union activities. It also requires agencies to bargain over certain labor matters and directs OPM to recommend a $15/hour minimum wage for federal workers.
Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government
This executive order establishes a whole-of-government equity agenda requiring federal agencies to assess whether their policies and programs perpetuate systemic barriers for underserved communities. It mandates equity assessments, creates an interagency data working group, revokes Trump-era orders on race and sex stereotyping and the 1776 Commission, and directs OMB to study methods for embedding equity in federal budgeting and decision-making.
Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation
This executive order directs federal agencies to review and revise policies to prevent discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, interpreting existing sex discrimination laws through the Supreme Court's Bostock reasoning. It requires agencies to develop implementation plans within 100 days and apply these protections across Title VII, Title IX, the Fair Housing Act, and other statutes.
