Equity in Agency Planning Act of 2024

This bill requires federal agencies to include specific equity goals in their planning documents. Agencies must set at least one goal (or 20% of total goals, whichever is greater) focused on improving services for underserved communities and individuals, defined as groups systematically denied full participation in economic, social, and civic life. Agencies must also consult with community groups, local governments, and research partners when developing these plans. The law amends existing planning requirements under Titles 5 and 31 of the U.S. Code to implement these changes.
