Bill 118 hr 10562, also known as the "Impact on Poverty and Racial Inequity Analysis Act," aims to address the disparities in wealth and opportunities faced by marginalized communities in the United States. The bill requires the government to conduct thorough analyses of how its rules, programs, and policies impact poverty and racial inequity, specifically focusing on the racial wealth gap.
The bill seeks to shed light on the ways in which government actions may perpetuate or exacerbate existing inequalities, and to identify opportunities for reform and improvement. By requiring these analyses, the government can better understand the impact of its decisions on marginalized communities and work towards creating more equitable policies.
In addition to analyzing the impact on poverty and racial inequity, the bill also aims to address the racial wealth gap, which refers to the disparities in wealth between different racial and ethnic groups. By examining how government actions contribute to this wealth gap, policymakers can develop strategies to reduce inequality and promote economic justice.
Overall, the Impact on Poverty and Racial Inequity Analysis Act is a step towards addressing systemic inequalities and promoting fairness and justice for all Americans, regardless of race or socioeconomic status.
