Requires the collection of certain demographic information by state agencies, boards, departments and commissions.
Impact
If enacted, this bill would have significant implications for how demographic data is collected and reported in New York State. It mandates that state agencies disaggregate demographic information to better reflect the varied backgrounds and experiences of residents. This data, published in demographic reports, is expected to inform targeted public programs and resources effectively. Furthermore, the bill aligns with the U.S. Census Bureau's efforts to enhance data granularity regarding ethnic distinctions, thereby improving advocacy and resource allocation.
Summary
S07664 aims to amend the executive law to require state agencies, boards, departments, and commissions to collect separate demographic information for various ethnic groups, particularly within the Black and African diaspora communities. This includes distinctions among descendants of enslaved individuals in the U.S., Afro-Caribbeans, and Continental Africans. The bill recognizes the diverse needs within these communities and the inadequacy of current data collection practices. The intention is to ensure more accurate representation and understanding of the unique challenges faced by these groups.
Contention
Some potential points of contention may arise regarding administrative burdens placed on state agencies to comply with the new data collection standards. There may be concerns surrounding the need for additional resources or training to implement these changes effectively. Moreover, stakeholders might debate the implications of such disaggregation on existing policies or funding, particularly concerning how benefits and programs would be tailored to each specified demographic.
