I don’t know for sure but I don’t think it does. I haven’t seen one yet that lists penalties for non compliance.

Executive orders have the full force of law when they take authority from a power granted directly to the Executive by the Constitution, or are made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation).
this from wiki so yea I think it does
