Bill overview
This bill, the Puerto Rico Data Collection Equality Act, aims to ensure Puerto Rico receives the same level of statistical data collection and publication as the United States states. It directs the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy to create a comprehensive plan to integrate Puerto Rico into federal statistical programs, including census data, economic accounts, and unemployment statistics. The plan will also address phasing out specific reporting requirements and ensure consistent data collection practices. Finally, the Council will be required to regularly report on the plan's progress and implementation to Congress.
