Representative Zokaie, prime bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 25-050 - Racial Classifications on Government Forms. The bill requires state and local government entities that collect population-level demographic data that is not individually identifiable to allow individuals to identity as Middle Eastern, North African, or South Asian or any other racial or ethnic category required by the federal Office of Management and Budget. The bill exempts state and local agencies who are collecting data for the federal government from the requirement if the change will cause the federal government to reject the data. Representative Zokaie responded to questions from the committee.
