Advancing Skills-Based Hiring Act of 2023

This bill creates a voluntary program allowing employers with over 100 employees to submit skills-based hiring tests to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for review. The EEOC would determine if the tests are job-related and consistent with business necessity under federal anti-discrimination law, providing employers with a legal "safe harbor" against future claims. Employers pay a fee for this review, and submitted information cannot be used against them in enforcement actions or court cases. The program aims to help companies adopt skills-based hiring practices while ensuring compliance with existing civil rights protections.
