Data Reporting Laws
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Federal
Section 501 and 503 requires federal agencies and federal contractors to collect data on individuals with disabilities as part of affirmative action compliance. Section 504 prohibits discrimination based on disability in programs receiving federal financial assistance; Section 508 requires federal electronic and information technology to be accessible; mandates data collection for compliance.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

While the ADA itself does not explicitly mandate data collection, compliance monitoring by federal agencies often involves disability data collection, especially related to employment (Title I), public accommodations (Title III), and state and local government services (Title II).
Public Act 100-0275
Illinois
Requires the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to collect and publicly report statistical data on the racial and ethnic demographics of program participants for each program it administers. While this act primarily focuses on racial and ethnic data, it underscores the state's commitment to demographic data collection.
Act 113
Hawaii
Requires the collection of disaggregated data, including disability status, by state agencies to better understand and serve diverse populations.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Reporting Requirements
