The Stevens Amendment
Since 1989, the United States Department of Labor’s (DOL) annual appropriation has included a
provision known as the Stevens Amendment. Its purpose is to ensure transparency and
accountability in federal spending. This provision requires the recipients of DOL grants and
cooperative agreements to acknowledge federal funding when publicly discussing any projects
or programs that DOL funded through its annual appropriation. For fiscal year 2021, this
provision appeared in section 505 of division H of Public Law 116-260
Equal Opportunity in Employment
Non-Discrimination: Programs funded under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) must comply with 29 CFR Part 38, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
Accessibility: Equal opportunity statements, often known as “taglines” must indicate the program is an equal opportunity employer and that auxiliary aids are available for individuals with disabilities.
Combined Usage: It is best practice to include both the EEO statement (“An equal opportunity employer/program…”) and the Stevens Amendment funding disclosure in job solicitations and marketing materials.
