Massachusetts H2501 mandates collection of LGBTQ+ demographic data to reduce health disparities.
Massachusetts H2501 amends the General Laws to require the executive office of health and human services and other relevant departments to collect voluntary self-identification information on sexual orientation and gender identity. This data will be used to reduce health disparities among the LGBTQ+ community. The collected data will be reported annually to the office of health equity, which will compile an annual report for the Legislature. The bill also mandates the collection of similar data in public schools and higher education institutions.
