Plain-English Summary

This bill would limit the federal government's ability to conduct surveys of the public by requiring congressional approval before agencies can spend money on most surveys and setting stricter rules for how surveys are designed and used. The measure aims to reduce what supporters see as unnecessary government data collection and spending on surveys, though it could affect how federal agencies gather information needed to understand public health, economic conditions, and other policy areas. The bill would primarily impact federal agencies and the public by changing which surveys get conducted and how often.
