GovInfo lists S. 4579, the All Students Count Act of 2026, as introduced in the Senate by Mazie K. Hirono on May 20, 2026, read twice, and referred to the Senate HELP Committee. The official record names Hirono as sponsor and lists the bill's full title as amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so annual State report cards reflect the same race groups as the decennial census.

The introduced Senate bill text states that Hirono introduced S. 4579 on May 20, 2026. It amends ESEA data reporting to include Asian American subgroups such as Chinese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Burmese, Bangladeshi, and Nepalese, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander subgroups including Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Chamorro, Tongan, iTaukei, and Marshallese.
Assessments
Hirono fulfilled the specific promise because it was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily enact it. Official bill metadata and text show she introduced S. 4579, the All Students Count Act of 2026, on May 20, 2026, during her current Senate term, and the bill directly addresses comprehensive AANHPI student data disaggregation in K-12 reporting.
Hirono is documented as a Senate sponsor on the All Students Count Act of 2026, which was introduced in her current Senate term and directly matches the pledge to introduce and support legislation for more comprehensive and equitable AANHPI student-data disaggregation in K-12 schools. The claim is about legislative action, not enactment, so introduction and sponsorship satisfy it.
