Executive Order 13145 in the United States

Introduction to Executive Order 13145

In February, President Bill Clinton signs Executive Order 13145 prohibiting federal departments and agencies from making employment decisions based on protected genetic information. In issuing the first Executive Order of the 21st Century, the President states that he hoped the action would “set an example and pose a challenge for every employer in America” to adopt a policy not to discriminate on the basis of protected genetic information “because . . . no employer should ever review your genetic records along with your resume.” The Executive Order assigns to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission the responsibility for coordinating the policy with federal departments and agencies.
