The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing all but which of the following laws?

1. Americans with Disabilities Act

2. Civil Rights Act of 1964

3. Environmental Protection Act

4. Equal Pay Act

The correct answer is: Americans with Disabilities Act

The correct answer is that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is not responsible for enforcing the Environmental Protection Act. The EEOC primarily focuses on enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. This includes laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Equal Pay Act, all of which address various aspects of workplace discrimination and equal treatment. The Environmental Protection Act does not fall under the jurisdiction of the EEOC, as this law pertains to environmental regulations and the protection of natural resources. Thus, while the EEOC plays a crucial role in promoting fair employment practices, it does not enforce laws related to environmental protection.
