Equity in Government Act
This bill requires all federal agencies to set specific equity goals in their strategic and performance plans, mandating at least one goal or 20% of total goals focused on improving services for underserved communities and individuals. It establishes an "Agency Equity Advisory Team" with 10+ agency roles (including civil rights, data, and human capital leaders) and creates an "Equity Subcommittee" to coordinate across agencies on equitable practices. The bill also updates data officer responsibilities to prioritize equitable data collection, use, and sharing, including collaboration with community groups and state/local governments. It directly affects all federal agencies and aims to reshape how government services are delivered to populations systematically excluded from economic, social, and civic opportunities.
