This bill, known as the "Freedom from Government Surveys Act," aims to establish the voluntary nature of participation in the American Community Survey (ACS). It seeks to amend current law to ensure that individuals will face no penalties for refusing or neglecting to answer questions on the ACS or any successor survey. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the Secretary responsible for the survey must include a clear statement on the ACS itself, explicitly informing all potential respondents that their participation is entirely voluntary. This ensures transparency regarding the survey's non-mandatory status.
