Statistical Agency Integrity and Independence Act of 2025
This bill establishes fixed six-year terms for leaders of four key federal statistical agencies (Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Center for Education Statistics, and Bureau of Justice Statistics) with staggered appointments to prevent political control. It requires presidential appointments confirmed by the Senate, limits removal to "for cause" (such as inefficiency or misconduct, not disagreements over data), and gives agency heads final authority over methodologies, reports, and release schedules. The law aims to protect data integrity by ensuring statistical work remains free from political influence or censorship.
