Equal Statistical Data for US Territories: Better Planning and Support

This act aims to ensure that statistical data for US Territories (like Puerto Rico or Guam) are collected and published in the same way as for other states. This will give the government a more complete picture of the needs of residents in these areas, potentially leading to better program planning and resource allocation, positively impacting their daily lives and access to services.
Key points
The US government will assess which statistical programs do not include Territories and why.
A plan will be developed to collect data for Territories, similar to states, with cost estimates.
Regular reports will inform about the progress of implementing this plan.
Full implementation of the plan is expected within four years of the act's enactment.
