Collection of data regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

Int 0552-2014

Collection of data regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

Proposed Int. No. 552-A would require the Department of Social Services, the Administration for Children’s Services, the Department of Homeless Services, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Department for the Aging, the Department of Youth and Community Development, the Department of Education, and any other agencies designated by the Mayor to provide to all persons served by the agency with a demographic information survey that contains questions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill would also require an annual review of all forms from the designated agencies, or any other agency designated by the Mayor, that collect demographic information, are completed by persons seeking services, and are within the administering agencies’ authority to amend. The bill would require all such forms to be amended to ask questions about sexual orientation and gender identity within five years. Proposed Int. 552-A would also require reporting on the collected data.
