Promise Details

Harris campaigned on enforcing equal pay laws and requiring large companies to report pay gaps. She promised tougher penalties for discrimination. While the administration expanded pay-equity audits in federal contracting, no sweeping national equal pay act was enacted.

Why it is broken

Federal contractor rules strengthened but no comprehensive national equal-pay statute passed. Some actions (contractor audits) occurred, but no sweeping national equal-pay law was passed. Broader enforcement legislative goal unmet.
