Plain-English Summary

This bill would require federal agencies to collect and report data on deafblind individuals—people who have significant hearing and vision loss—to better understand their needs and experiences. The legislation aims to improve how the government tracks and serves this population by establishing consistent data collection standards across agencies. This would help policymakers identify gaps in services and programs available to deafblind Americans.
