    Sec. 5. Findings and purpose. The General Assembly hereby

finds as follows:

    (a) Efficient, responsive, and accountable disbursement of 
State
services is best facilitated by a diversified State work 
force which
reflects the diversity of the tax-paying 
constituency the State work force
is employed to serve.

    (b) The purpose of this Act is to require and develop 
within
existing State administrative processes a comprehensive 
procedure to
collect, classify, maintain, and publish, for 
State and public use,
information that provides the General 
Assembly and the People of this State
with adequate 
information of the number of minorities, women, persons who 
identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming, and persons 
with physical disabilities employed by State government within 
the State work force.

    (c) To provide State officials, administrators and the 
People
of the State with information to help guide efforts to 
achieve a more
diversified State work force, the total number 
of persons employed within
the State work force shall be 
tabulated in a comprehensive manner to
provide meaningful 
review of the number and percentage of minorities, women,

persons who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming, 
and persons with physical disabilities employed as part of the 
State work force.
