On May 21, 2026, Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Sen. Mazie Hirono introduced the All Students Count Act, which would require the U.S. Department of Education, state education agencies, and school districts to collect and report disaggregated AANHPI student data for 15 Asian American and 6 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander subgroups, with an effective date 18 months after enactment.
Assessments
Jayapal directly pursued this promise by sponsoring the All Students Count Act in the 118th Congress and reintroducing matching legislation in 2026 with Sen. Hirono. Those bills closely match the promised policy, but the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation. Current federal law and available Education/NCES reporting still do not require or provide the full AANHPI subgroup data collection and reporting described in the promise. Because she made a serious legislative effort but did not secure the promised outcome, this is best scored as never with effort credit.
Jayapal sponsored and reintroduced legislation to require disaggregated AANHPI student data collection and reporting, which is a serious legislative effort that matches the promise. But the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or implemented federal requirement, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
Jayapal directly pursued the promised policy by sponsoring the All Students Count Act in the 118th Congress and reintroducing it in 2026, which qualifies as a serious legislative effort. But the available evidence shows the bill did not advance beyond introduction and committee referral, and current federal education law still does not require the Department of Education, state agencies, and school districts to collect and report the detailed AANHPI subgroup data described in the promise. Because the promised federal requirement was not enacted or implemented, this is best scored as not delivered, with effort credit for the substantial attempt.
The promised outcome was a binding federal requirement for ED, state education agencies, and school districts to collect and report disaggregated AANHPI student data. Jayapal sponsored matching All Students Count Act legislation in the 118th Congress, but it only reached introduction and committee referral and was not enacted. She also reintroduced matching legislation in May 2026, which is a serious renewed attempt but still only a proposed bill, not an implemented requirement. Current federal law still does not contain the specific AANHPI subgroup mandate described in the promise.
Jayapal introduced H.R.6086, the All Students Count Act of 2023, which directly matches the promise by requiring further disaggregation and reporting of AANHPI student data. However, the evidence indicates the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or meaningful passage. The NCES evidence also suggests the promised disaggregated public reporting has not been implemented. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the promised federal requirement was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
