SENATE RESOLUTION
urging the PRESIDENT of the united states TO ISSUE A PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE ordering FEDERAL AGENCIES TO REPORT DISAGGREGATED NATIVE HAWAIIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER DATA IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET STATISTICAL POLICY DIRECTIVE NO. 15.
WHEREAS, racial and ethnic data
play a critical role in identifying disparities, monitoring programs for civil
rights compliance, informing public policy development, and guiding funding
priorities; and
WHEREAS, the Association of
Hawaiian Civic Clubs has adopted over thirty resolutions since 2005 that either
cited disaggregated data in support of Native Hawaiian issues, honored Native
Hawaiian-serving institutions and community members that contributed or
safeguarded Native Hawaiian data, or urged government agencies at the federal,
state, and local levels to provide data disaggregating Native Hawaiians and other
Pacific Islanders, including Resolutions 2020-42, 2019-46, 2013-16, 2012-12,
2010-20, and 2008-35; and
WHEREAS, the federal Office of
Management and Budget revised Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 in 1997,
separating the "Asian and Pacific Islander" category into the "Asian"
and "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" categories;
and
WHEREAS, numerous data reports at
the local, state, and federal level continue to fail to report disaggregated
Native Hawaiian data as detailed in "Data Justice: About Us, By Us, For Us," issued by the
Hawai‘i Budget and Policy
Center and Papa Ola Lokahi on March 5, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the importance of urging government agencies to improve data collection and reporting practices and access to disaggregated Native Hawaiian data has been recognized by the Legislature through the resolution titled, "Recognizing the Importance of 21st Century Data Governance and Fact-Based Policymaking", and by the City and County of Honolulu through the resolution titled, "Urging the State of Hawaii and the City and County of Honolulu to Disaggregate Racial Data Collection and Reporting Beyond Federal Minimum Standards"; and
WHEREAS, California Government Codes 8310.5 and 8310.7, explicitly require California state agencies to collect data for each major Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander group, including "Hawaiians", separate from "Samoans", "Tongans", "Fijians", and "Chamorros"; and
WHEREAS, Hawaii and California
have released disaggregated Native Hawaiian COVID-19 case and death data that
identified disparities between Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander
groups, which has contributed to the justification of more culturally tailored
and effective services; and
WHEREAS, numerous federal agencies fail to utilize a "Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander" category when reporting data from critical surveys, such as the United States Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey and the United States Department of Health and Human Services' National Health Interview Survey, among others; and
WHEREAS, article II, section 1, clause 1, of the United States Constitution vests in the President the discretion to issue federal directives for the purpose of managing executive branch resources; and
WHEREAS, the Office of Management
and Budget is an office within the Executive Office of the President of the
United States; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, that the President of the United States is urged to issue a presidential directive ordering federal agencies to report disaggregated Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander data in compliance with the Office of Management and Budget Statistical Policy Directive No. 15; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the President of the United States is urged to issue a presidential directive ordering federal agencies to take all appropriate steps to fully comply with Office of Management and Budget Statistical Policy Directive No. 15; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the President and Vice President of the Unites States; Director of Management and Budget; Deputy Assistant to the President and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Senior Liaison; Secretary of Health and Human Services; Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders; Governor; Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs; and Office of the Mayor for each county.
