Expanding Military Sexual Assault Data Collection Act
This bill amends military workplace surveys to require data collection on unwanted sexual contact and indicators that victims were targeted or discriminated against due to their group status (e.g., gender, race). It directly affects military personnel by expanding the scope of information gathered in annual workplace and gender relations surveys. The key provision adds new survey questions asking about assault indicators beyond basic incidents, specifically focusing on whether victims faced targeting or discrimination. This change aims to improve data accuracy for addressing military sexual assault, without altering legal penalties or victim support services.
