Freedom from Government Surveys Act

# Freedom from Government Surveys Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The Freedom from Government Surveys Act (HR 4820) would limit the federal government's ability to conduct surveys of the American public. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, the bill's title suggests it aims to restrict mandatory or intrusive government data collection through surveys. **Who it affects:** This bill would primarily affect federal agencies that conduct surveys (like the Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other departments) and potentially the millions of Americans who receive survey requests from the government. It could impact the collection of important economic, demographic, and social data that currently informs policy decisions. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

It was sponsored by Representative W. Gregory Steube (R-FL). Without additional legislative details available, the specific mechanisms for restricting surveys and any exceptions remain unclear. *Note: For complete details on the bill's specific provisions, you may want to consult Congress.gov or the bill's full text.*.
