Version:

Existing law requires any state agency, board, or commission that directly or by contract collects demographic data on the ethnic origin, ethnicity, or race of Californians to take certain actions, including providing forms that offer respondents the option of selecting one or more ethnic or racial designations.

This bill would require those state agencies, boards, or commissions to, by January 1, 2028, report to the Legislature on its implementation of and compliance with those requirements. The bill would repeal this reporting requirement on January 1, 2032.
