Bill > AB1878

This bill requires state agencies, boards, or commissions that collect demographic data on Californians' ethnic origin, ethnicity, or race to report to the Legislature by January 1, 2028, on how they are implementing and complying with existing requirements, which include offering respondents the option to select one or more ethnic or racial designations on forms. This reporting requirement is set to expire on January 1, 2032. The existing law, which this bill amends, was enacted to ensure that state forms accurately reflect the diversity of California's population, particularly those who identify with multiple ethnicities or races, by aligning with federal standards that allow for multiple selections.
