Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2017

This bill amends the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 to: (1) expand disclosure and enforcement requirements relating to findings of acts of discrimination and retaliation in the federal workplace, and (2) declare that accountability in the enforcement of federal employee rights is furthered when agencies take appropriate disciplinary action against employees who have been found to have committed discriminatory or retaliatory acts.

With respect to agency reporting requirements, the bill requires agencies to, among other tasks, report to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on whether disciplinary action has been initiated against an employee who has committed an act of discrimination or retaliation.

The bill also requires agencies to: (1) establish a system to track each complaint of discrimination adjudicated by the EEOC from inception to resolution, and (2) make a notation in an employee's personnel record of any adverse action taken against the employee for an act of discrimination or retaliation.

The bill requires each agency to establish a model Equal Employment Opportunity Program that is not under the control of a Human Capital or General Counsel Office.

Finally, the bill directs the EEOC to refer a finding of discrimination or retaliation within a federal agency to the Office of Special Counsel which shall then pursue disciplinary action against any employee who commits an act of discrimination or retaliation.
