To amend title 13, United States Code, to provide that the term of office of the Director of the Census shall be 5 years, to require that such Director report directly to the Secretary of Commerce, and for other purposes.

This bill proposes two primary changes to the leadership of the U.S. Census Bureau: it establishes a fixed five-year term for the Director and requires the Director to report directly to the Secretary of Commerce. By creating a set term of office, the legislation aims to provide greater stability and continuity in leadership across different presidential administrations. For the public, these changes are intended to ensure that the collection of national demographic and economic data remains consistent and focused on long-term operational goals.
