Bill > S2287

This bill, the LGBTQ Data Inclusion Act, aims to improve federal population surveys by requiring the collection of voluntary, self-disclosed information on sexual orientation and gender identity. It defines key terms like "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," and mandates that federal agencies that collect demographic data in their surveys review existing datasets, identify appropriate methods to include questions on sexual orientation and gender identity, and implement a process to routinely assess needed changes in survey methods related to these topics. The bill also requires that any published reports using survey data must include information on sexual orientation and gender identity, and establishes that individuals cannot be penalized for refusing to answer or providing false answers to survey questions about their gender identity or sexual orientation.
