Several Regulations on Trump Chopping Block

President Trump recently signed an executive order requiring every federal agency to establish a “Regulatory Reform Task Force” to eliminate what he considers to be unnecessary and burdensome regulations hampering the American economy. His action follows a meeting he had with what is known as the Business Roundtable, a conservative coalition of management executives formed to promote pro-business public policy. From the gist of that meeting, it appears that a number of workplace regulations could be on the chopping block. The seven regulations singled out by the Business Roundtable are:

• Affordable Care Act (ACA) Employer Reporting Requirements
• EEOC Wellness Program Rules 
• ACA Excise Taxes 
• Overtime Regulations
• Fair Pay And Safe Workplaces Executive Order (EO 13673)
• EEOC’s Revised Employment Information Report
• CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
