The data they collect is expected to have far-reaching consequences on the U.S. Census, the enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, Fair Housing Act and other anti-discrimination laws. The official added the new standards will identify different impacts on"individuals, programs and services, health outcomes, employment outcomes, educational outcomes..."The standards were first proposed under former President Barack Obama but were subsequently delayed under the Trump administration.
The new standards by the Biden White House require federal agencies to update their surveys and administrative forms, submit a compliance plan within 18 months and comply with the updated standards within five years.
