Hello Mr. Neiss,
I am emailing you regarding a FOIA request with USCCR, #2025-14, which was for a list of agency plans and actions taken regarding President Trump’s Executive Order Defending Women. Our agency has implemented this Executive Order and has taken the following actions:
* USCCR removed the “universal” bathroom signs at headquarters
* USCCR reviewed and removed questions about gender identity from our State Advisory Committee applications
* USCCR also removed 10 items from our website in compliance with 1(f) in the EO.
No information has been withheld or redacted regarding this FOIA request. Our agency considers the release of this information a full grant.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Cody Bowler
