We urge the Commission to withdraw the NPRM and engage Congress in developing a revised proposal. While speed and efficiency matter, this proposed rule could have the effect of making EEO claims slower on top of stripping federal employees of key rights. The federal government should be a model employer free of discrimination, and its civil-rights process should reflect that obligation,

Budzinski joined colleagues in urging the EEOC to withdraw the proposed federal-sector EEO rule and work with Congress on a revised proposal that improves speed and fairness while preserving civil rights protections for federal employees.

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-13 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment shows Budzinski joined an effort urging the EEOC to withdraw the NPRM and work with Congress, so candidate-attributable effort is present. But the only verified outcome evidence says the EEOC action remained a proposed rule, and there is no verified evidence that the NPRM was withdrawn or that a revised proposal was developed with Congress. With no deadline expired and no enacted/achieved outcome shown, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
