Bill overview
This bill, the LGBTQ Essential Data Act, requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity of deceased individuals. Specifically, the CDC must enhance data collection through the National Violent Death Reporting System, ensuring this information is handled with the same privacy standards as other data collected by the system. The goal is to better understand the factors contributing to violent deaths within LGBTQ+ communities. This legislation also authorizes $25 million for fiscal year 2022 to support these efforts.
