Urging The President Of The United States To Issue A Presidential Directive Ordering Federal Agencies To Report Disaggregated Native Hawaiian And Pacific Islander Data In Compliance With The Office Of Management And Budget Statistical Policy Directive No. 15.

Impact

If enacted, this resolution would prompt compliance with the Office of Management and Budget's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, which originally separated the 'Asian and Pacific Islander' category into more distinct classifications. This change would strengthen the ability of local, state, and federal agencies to monitor disparities and enhance program effectiveness tailored to the specific needs of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Such data collection is crucial for informing funding priorities and developing public policies that are equitable and sensitive to the unique challenges these populations face.

Summary

Senate Concurrent Resolution 92 urges the President of the United States to issue a directive that mandates federal agencies to report disaggregated Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander data. This request arises from the need to improve the quality and relevance of data collected to better understand and address disparities faced by these communities. The lack of disaggregated data currently hinders effective policy-making and resource allocation aimed at supporting these groups. The resolution cites a history of advocacy for better data reporting practices as vital for improving outcomes for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

Contention

One noteworthy point of contention surrounding this resolution is the resistance from certain federal entities that may view the additional data requirements as burdensome. Advocates argue that without this data, many disparities remain invisible, thus perpetuating inequities in health, education, and economic opportunities. The resolution underscores that the effort to gather disaggregated data is not only a matter of statistical accuracy but also a fundamental civil rights issue, highlighting the importance of informed policy decisions based on comprehensive, accurate data.
