Senate Pushes First Federal AI Job Displacement Tracking Bill as 77,999 Workers Displaced in 2025

The first bipartisan federal legislation to track AI-driven job displacement has arrived. On December 8, 2025, Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) introduced the AI-Related Jobs Impacts Clarity Act, requiring companies and federal agencies to report AI-attributed layoffs to the Department of Labor on a quarterly basis. The bill responds to mounting evidence that AI automation is systematically eliminating white-collar jobs at unprecedented scale—with no official mechanism to measure the impact.

The timing is critical. In 2025 alone, 77,999 workers lost their jobs to AI across 342 tech company layoffs. Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that AI was the second-most-cited factor for job cuts in October 2025, responsible for approximately 48,000 layoffs. Yet without mandatory reporting requirements, these figures represent only anecdotal evidence rather than comprehensive workforce data.

This legislation acknowledges a harsh reality: AI job displacement isn't a theoretical future problem—it's a documented present crisis requiring federal intervention. The bill's introduction signals that policymakers recognize the workforce transformation is happening faster and more severely than anticipated, demanding immediate data infrastructure to inform policy responses.

What the Bill Actually Does

The AI-Related Jobs Impacts Clarity Act creates the first federal framework for tracking how artificial intelligence affects American employment. Understanding what the bill mandates—and what it doesn't—reveals both its potential value and significant limitations.

Mandatory Quarterly Reporting Requirements

Company Obligations:

Under the proposed legislation, companies and federal agencies must report the following to the Department of Labor at the end of each quarter:

Number of Layoffs Attributed to AI: Organizations must disclose how many positions were eliminated specifically because AI systems replaced human workers. This includes:

Direct replacement (AI performs job previously done by human)
Indirect displacement (AI increases productivity so fewer humans needed)
Preemptive elimination (positions never filled because AI handles workload)

Job Categories Affected: Companies must specify which occupations faced displacement, allowing analysis of:

Which professions are most vulnerable
Whether displacement concentrates in specific skill levels
How AI impacts different types of knowledge work

Retraining and Transition Support: Organizations must report what support they provided displaced workers:

Internal retraining programs offered
External skill development funding
Job placement assistance
Severance packages and transition periods

New Opportunities Created: Companies must document new positions created due to AI adoption:

AI supervision and management roles
Technical positions supporting AI infrastructure
Strategic roles emerging from AI capabilities

Department of Labor Responsibilities:

The Department of Labor must compile quarterly reports and publish them to Congress and the public, creating unprecedented transparency into AI workforce impacts.

What the Bill Doesn't Do

No Restrictions on AI Adoption: The legislation does not limit companies' ability to implement AI or replace workers. It's purely a data collection mechanism, not regulatory constraint. Companies remain free to automate as aggressively as economics justify.

No Mandatory Retraining Requirements: While companies must report what support they provide, there's no legal obligation to offer any support. Organizations can eliminate positions with zero transition assistance and remain compliant by reporting "none."

No Financial Penalties for Displacement: The bill doesn't tax AI adoption or impose fees on companies eliminating jobs. It creates reporting requirements but no economic consequences for workforce reduction.

No Worker Protections: Displaced employees gain no new rights under this legislation. No advanced notice requirements beyond existing WARN Act provisions. No preferential rehiring. No compensation beyond contractual obligations.

Why Data Collection Matters Despite Limited Scope

Senator Warner stated that "without official data, Congress will struggle to react to the growing impact of AI on the workforce", explaining that the bill will "give us a clear picture of AI's impact on the workforce – what jobs are being eliminated, which workers are being retrained, and where new opportunities are emerging."

The absence of comprehensive displacement data creates policy blindness. Legislators can't design effective workforce programs without understanding:

Scale of displacement (thousands? hundreds of thousands?)
Geographic concentration (which regions suffer most?)
Demographic patterns (age, education, race, gender disparities?)
Industry concentration (which sectors face greatest upheaval?)
Transition success rates (how many displaced workers find equivalent employment?)

This bill creates the data infrastructure necessary for evidence-based policy responses. Once Congress sees documented proof that AI eliminates 200,000 jobs annually, or that 80% of displaced workers face permanent income reduction, political pressure for substantive intervention increases.

Oliver Roberts, co-director of WashU Law's AI Collaborative, characterized the legislation as "a step in the right direction," acknowledging that measurement precedes policy action. You can't solve problems you can't see.

The Displacement Evidence That Prompted This Bill

The legislation didn't emerge from abstract concerns about future automation—it responds to documented workforce destruction happening now. The data compelling congressional action reveals displacement at scales that trigger political intervention thresholds.

2025 Tech Sector Devastation

So far in 2025, there have been 342 layoffs at tech companies with 77,999 people impacted—491 people losing their jobs to AI every single day. This isn't gradual workforce transition; it's systematic elimination of knowledge worker positions across the technology sector.

Major Company Examples:

Microsoft: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that 30% of company code is now AI-written. Simultaneously, over 40% of their recent layoffs targeted software engineers. The company eliminated 6,000 workers in early 2025, with AI cited as primary justification. When 30% of code writes itself, the company needs 30% fewer engineers.

IBM: IBM laid off 8,000 employees as AI agents took over their HR department. The company's AI-powered human resources system automates recruiting, onboarding, benefits administration, and employee support—eliminating positions that required hundreds of HR professionals.

Google, Amazon, Meta: Combined layoffs at major technology platforms exceeded 25,000 positions in 2025, with AI automation explicitly cited in internal communications and public statements. These companies pioneered AI development and are now using it to eliminate their own workforce.

Beyond Tech: White-Collar Displacement Acceleration

Challenger, Gray & Christmas' October job report stated that AI was the second-most-cited factor for job cuts, amounting to roughly 48,000 layoffs in 2025. This figure spans industries beyond technology, indicating broader white-collar workforce transformation.

Professional Services Hit Hard:

January 2025 saw the lowest job openings in professional services since 2013—a 20% year-over-year drop. Accounting firms, consulting companies, legal services, and financial advisory are eliminating analyst and associate positions as AI handles research, analysis, and basic client work.

40% of white-collar job seekers in 2024 failed to secure interviews, while high-paying positions ($96K+) hit decade-low hiring levels. AI doesn't just eliminate existing jobs—it prevents new ones from being created as companies discover they can operate with smaller teams.

Market Research Analysts:

63,000 market research analyst jobs face AI displacement, with Bloomberg reporting that 53% of market research analyst tasks and 67% of sales representative tasks are automatable. This profession serves as a case study for AI's ability to eliminate sophisticated knowledge work requiring advanced degrees and business judgment.

Entry-Level Devastation:

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's stark prediction: AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. Entry-level positions exist to train future mid-level professionals. When AI eliminates these roles, entire career pipelines disappear.

Research from SignalFire shows Big Tech companies reduced new graduate hiring by 25% in 2024 compared to 2023. These aren't temporary hiring freezes—they're permanent workforce restructuring based on AI capability.

The Gender Disparity Problem

Geographic analysis indicates that 58.87 million women in the US workforce occupy positions highly exposed to AI automation compared to 48.62 million men, highlighting significant gender disparities. AI displacement disproportionately affects women because:

Administrative and clerical roles (80%+ female) face highest automation risk
Customer service positions (70%+ female) are being replaced by AI chatbots
Data entry and processing jobs (65%+ female) are completely automatable
Healthcare support roles (85%+ female) face partial automation

When AI preferentially eliminates jobs held predominantly by women, displacement becomes a civil rights issue requiring policy attention beyond pure economic concerns.

Projections That Terrify Policymakers

Senator Hawley stated that "experts project AI could drive unemployment up to 10 to 20% in the next five years". For context, unemployment during the 2008 financial crisis peaked at 10%. A scenario where AI doubles that devastation would trigger economic and social catastrophe requiring aggressive intervention.

The World Economic Forum's 2025 Future of Jobs Report reveals that while 85 million jobs will be displaced by 2025, 97 million new roles will simultaneously emerge, representing a net positive job creation of 12 million positions globally. But this "net positive" narrative obscures critical realities:

Skills Mismatch: 77% of new AI jobs require master's degrees, and 18% require doctoral degrees. Displaced administrative workers and junior analysts can't simply transition into AI research roles requiring PhDs in computer science.

Geographic Concentration: New AI jobs concentrate in technology hubs (San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Austin). Displaced workers in Midwestern manufacturing towns or Southern service economies face geographic barriers to accessing new opportunities.

Age Discrimination: Workers aged 18-24 are 129% more likely than those over 65 to worry AI will make their job obsolete. Young workers entering the job market face immediate displacement, while older displaced workers (45-60) struggle to retrain and compete for limited positions.

This evidence compelled congressional action. When displacement reaches scales visible to constituents—when senators' own staffers face AI replacement—legislation follows.

Why This Bill Matters: Policy Implications

The AI-Related Jobs Impacts Clarity Act represents more than bureaucratic data collection. It establishes precedent for federal intervention in AI workforce transformation and creates infrastructure for substantive policy responses.

Legitimizes AI Displacement as Policy Problem

Federal Recognition:

By introducing legislation requiring AI displacement tracking, Congress officially acknowledges that:

AI job elimination is substantial enough to require federal oversight
Current workforce disruption exceeds normal technological change
Market forces alone won't adequately address displacement
Government has responsibility to monitor and potentially intervene

This legitimization shifts AI displacement from private sector concern to public policy issue. When the federal government requires reporting, it signals intent to act on findings.

Precedent for Intervention:

Data collection always precedes regulation. Congress doesn't track phenomena it doesn't intend to address. Historical parallels:

Environmental impact statements (Clean Air Act) preceded emissions regulation
Financial disclosure requirements (Dodd-Frank) preceded banking restrictions
Workplace injury reporting (OSHA) preceded safety standards

The AI displacement tracking bill follows this pattern: measure first, regulate second. Once quarterly reports document hundreds of thousands of displaced workers, pressure for substantive intervention becomes overwhelming.

Creates Foundation for Future Legislation

Potential Policy Responses Enabled by Data:

Mandatory Retraining Requirements: Data showing that companies provide minimal transition support for displaced workers would justify requiring:

Six-month retraining budgets ($10-25K per displaced worker)
Internal transfer programs before external layoffs
Career counseling and job placement services
Extended health benefits during transition periods

AI Adoption Taxes: If data reveals massive displacement with minimal job creation, Congress could implement:

Per-worker displacement fees funding displaced worker programs
Progressive taxation on AI-driven productivity gains
Robot taxes similar to proposals in EU and Asian countries

Worker Protection Expansions: Tracking might demonstrate need for:

Advanced notice requirements beyond current WARN Act (90 days instead of 60)
Preferential rehiring rights for displaced workers
Portable benefits allowing workforce mobility
Universal basic income pilots for hardest-hit regions

Industry-Specific Interventions: If displacement concentrates in particular sectors, targeted responses become justified:

Support for professional services transitioning to AI augmentation
Retraining pipelines for administrative and clerical workers
Economic development programs for regions losing knowledge work

Establishes Accountability Framework

Public Transparency:

Quarterly Department of Labor reports create public accountability mechanisms:

Investigative journalists can identify worst-offending companies
Labor unions can organize displaced workers by company
Advocacy groups can pressure specific organizations
Shareholder activists can challenge excessive AI displacement

Congressional Oversight:

Data enables targeted questioning during hearings:

"Why did your company eliminate 5,000 positions while providing zero retraining?"
"What justifies 60% workforce reduction when profits increased 40%?"
"How do you defend eliminating entry-level positions while claiming talent shortage?"

Stakeholder Pressure:

Mandatory reporting empowers various stakeholders:

Employees can see displacement patterns before layoffs hit their department
Communities can anticipate economic impacts from local employer automation
Educational institutions can adapt curricula to emerging skill demands
Investors can assess workforce stability and retention risks

Signals Limits of Self-Regulation

Market Failure Recognition:

The bill implicitly acknowledges that private sector won't voluntarily limit AI displacement or adequately support workers. If companies were handling transition responsibly, legislation wouldn't be necessary.

This represents significant shift from typical American policy approach of minimal government intervention in private employment decisions. When bipartisan legislation emerges, it indicates political consensus that market solutions are insufficient.

Political Cover for Business Regulation:

The bill's bipartisan sponsorship (Republican Hawley, Democrat Warner) provides political cover for future interventions. Both parties acknowledge AI displacement requires federal response, making subsequent restrictions politically viable.

When conservative Republicans support workforce tracking legislation, it signals that AI displacement is so severe that free-market ideological commitments bend to political reality. Constituents facing job loss demand action regardless of party affiliation.

What the Bill Won't Fix: Critical Limitations

While the AI-Related Jobs Impacts Clarity Act establishes important data infrastructure, significant limitations constrain its effectiveness at addressing actual workforce challenges displaced workers face.

No Protection for Workers Facing Displacement

No Advanced Warning Beyond Current Law:

The legislation doesn't expand Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requirements. Companies must provide 60 days notice for mass layoffs (100+ workers) but no additional protections for AI-specific displacement.

This matters because:

AI enables gradual workforce reduction avoiding WARN Act thresholds (eliminate 80 workers quarterly instead of 300 annually)
60 days is insufficient time for career transitions requiring months of retraining
Many displaced workers are contractors or gig workers with zero notice protections

No Mandatory Support or Severance:

Companies can report "zero retraining provided" and "zero transition assistance" while remaining fully compliant. The legislation collects data about support but doesn't require any.

No Preferential Rehiring Rights:

When companies later discover they need human workers for tasks AI can't handle, displaced employees have no right to return. They compete with external candidates despite institutional knowledge and previous performance.

Data Quality and Reporting Challenges

Attribution Ambiguity:

Determining which layoffs are "attributed to AI" is inherently subjective:

If company implements AI and then eliminates 20% of workforce, is that 100% AI-attributed or partially due to normal efficiency drives?
When productivity improvements from AI allow revenue growth without hiring, are "jobs never created" counted?
If company eliminates middle managers because AI enables flatter organizations, is that AI displacement or management restructuring?

Companies will minimize reported AI displacement to avoid negative publicity and potential future regulation. Without clear attribution standards and audit mechanisms, reported figures will understate actual impact.

Enforcement and Compliance Problems:

The bill doesn't specify:

Penalties for non-compliance or misreporting
Audit procedures to verify accuracy
Standards for categorizing displaced workers by job type
Methodology for tracking long-term outcomes

Without enforcement teeth, reporting becomes voluntary in practice. Companies prioritize public relations over data accuracy.

Private Sector Exclusions:

Small and medium businesses may be exempt from reporting requirements. If the legislation only applies to companies above certain size thresholds, significant displacement at smaller firms goes unmeasured. This is critical because:

SMBs employ 50%+ of American workforce
AI tools are becoming accessible to small companies
Distributed displacement across thousands of small firms is harder to measure but equally impactful

No Economic Support for Displaced Workers

No Unemployment Insurance Enhancements:

Displaced workers receive standard unemployment benefits (typically 40-50% of prior income for 26 weeks) regardless of AI attribution. The legislation doesn't:

Extend benefit periods for AI-displaced workers
Increase benefit amounts recognizing longer retraining timelines
Create special programs for workers whose professions become obsolete
Fund education or skill development during unemployment

No Retraining Funding:

While companies must report whether they provided retraining, the legislation doesn't:

Require companies to fund retraining
Create federal retraining programs
Offer tax incentives for worker skill development
Establish grants or scholarships for displaced workers

Displaced workers remain responsible for financing their own career transitions while facing income loss and family obligations.

No Regional Economic Support:

When AI eliminates 5,000 jobs in a mid-sized city, the economic devastation extends beyond displaced workers to:

Local businesses losing customer base
Tax revenue declining for municipal services
Property values falling as people relocate
Community institutions (schools, hospitals) facing budget pressures

The legislation doesn't address systemic economic impacts of concentrated displacement.

Timing: Too Late for Many Workers

Already Displaced in 2025:

77,999 workers already lost jobs to AI in 2025. The bill provides no retroactive support or assistance. It's pure forward-looking data collection.

Slow Legislative Process:

Even if the bill passes immediately:

Implementation takes 6-12 months (Department of Labor needs time to create reporting systems)
First quarterly reports won't emerge until mid-2026 at earliest
Policy responses based on data won't materialize until 2027+

By the time data informs meaningful policy, hundreds of thousands more workers will be displaced without support.

Reactive Rather Than Proactive:

The bill responds to documented crisis rather than preventing future harm. It creates measurement infrastructure after displacement is well underway, not early warning systems enabling preemptive transitions.

Political Limitations

Bipartisan Compromise Dilutes Effectiveness:

To achieve Republican support, Democratic sponsors likely accepted significant limitations:

No mandatory corporate obligations beyond reporting
No new worker protections or benefits
No economic penalties for excessive displacement
No expansion of government workforce programs

The legislation is politically possible precisely because it demands almost nothing from employers while creating appearance of congressional action.

Vulnerable to Business Lobby Opposition:

Even this limited bill faces fierce opposition from:

Technology companies resisting transparency requirements
Business associations arguing reporting is burdensome
Libertarian think tanks characterizing it as government overreach
AI industry coalitions claiming innovation-killing regulation

Whether the bill passes despite opposition remains uncertain.

Expert Assessment: "Step in Right Direction" But Insufficient

Oliver Roberts, co-director of WashU Law's AI Collaborative, characterized the legislation as "a step in the right direction," but his full commentary reveals significant reservations about adequacy.

What Data Collection Enables

Roberts acknowledges measurement value: "Armed with this information, we can make sure AI drives opportunity instead of leaving workers behind." Quarterly displacement reports create foundation for evidence-based policy by:

Quantifying Scale: Moving from anecdotal reports ("AI is eliminating jobs") to hard data ("AI eliminated 237,000 positions last quarter across these sectors") changes policy conversations dramatically.

Identifying Patterns: Systematic reporting reveals:

Which job categories face highest displacement rates
Whether certain demographics suffer disproportionate impact
Which companies provide effective transition support
Where new AI-related jobs actually emerge vs. where displacement concentrates

Tracking Trends: Year-over-year comparisons show whether displacement is:

Accelerating (crisis requiring urgent intervention)
Stabilizing (market adjusting with new job creation)
Reversing (AI creating more jobs than it eliminates)

Informing Interventions: Data guides targeted policies:

If 80% of displaced workers are ages 45-60, design age-appropriate retraining
If displacement concentrates in particular regions, focus economic development there
If companies providing robust support see better outcomes, mandate similar programs

The "Come to Jesus Moment" Warning

Roberts predicted: "We may see a world in the future where we have many mass layoffs, and people are not getting hired, and there's not new jobs due to all this automation. That is when we'll probably see that come to Jesus moment where we have to have the discussion: What is the future of work going to look like? How are people going to sustain a living in this new world?"

This reveals the tracking bill's fundamental limitation: it measures a crisis without addressing it. Roberts suggests that only after displacement becomes undeniable catastrophe will Congress seriously consider structural responses like:

Universal basic income or guaranteed employment
Massive retraining programs at federal scale
Economic restructuring for post-work society
Wealth redistribution from AI productivity gains

The bill documents the path to crisis but doesn't prevent arriving there.

What Tracking Doesn't Provide

No Worker Safety Net Expansion: Data about displacement doesn't feed, house, or retrain displaced workers. It makes their suffering visible but doesn't alleviate it.

No Corporate Accountability: Companies can report massive displacement while facing zero consequences beyond public awareness. Transparency without enforcement mechanisms is descriptive, not corrective.

No Economic Transition Support: Knowing that AI eliminated 200,000 jobs in a quarter doesn't create 200,000 new jobs or fund career transitions for affected workers.

No AI Development Governance: The bill doesn't slow AI adoption, require impact assessments before deployment, or mandate human oversight. It's purely backward-looking measurement, not forward-looking prevention.

Roberts' assessment—"step in right direction but insufficient"—captures expert consensus. The legislation acknowledges a problem and creates measurement infrastructure. But it doesn't actually help displaced workers or constrain harmful AI deployment practices.

What Should Come Next: Comprehensive Policy Agenda

The AI displacement tracking bill represents necessary but insufficient first step. Comprehensive policy response requires interventions the current legislation doesn't provide.

Immediate Term: Worker Protection and Support (2026-2027)

Enhanced WARN Act Requirements:

Extend notice period to 120 days for AI-attributed layoffs
Require detailed explanations of why AI necessitates workforce reduction
Mandate impact assessments showing alternatives to displacement
Cover contractors and gig workers, not just W-2 employees

Mandatory Transition Support:

Companies must provide $15-25K retraining budget per displaced worker
Internal transfer opportunities before external layoffs
Six months extended health benefits
Career counseling and job placement services
Severance minimums: 1 week per year of service, 12-week minimum

Unemployment Insurance Reform:

AI displacement qualifies for extended benefits (52 weeks instead of 26)
Benefits calculated at 70% of prior income instead of 40-50%
Benefit eligibility during retraining programs
No work search requirements for first 90 days (dedicated retraining time)

Medium Term: Skills and Workforce Development (2027-2029)

National AI Literacy Program:

Free or heavily subsidized AI skills training for all workers
Partnerships with community colleges and online education platforms
Certification programs recognized by employers
Focus on AI collaboration rather than AI replacement resistance

Sector-Specific Retraining Pipelines:

Administrative → Data science transition programs
Analyst → AI supervisor bootcamps
Customer service → AI quality assurance training
Entry-level → AI prompt engineering certificates

Regional Economic Transition Zones:

Federal support for communities facing concentrated AI displacement
Attract AI infrastructure investments to affected regions
Economic diversification programs
Small business development focused on human-centric services

Educational System Adaptation:

K-12 curriculum emphasizing AI collaboration skills
University programs pivoting from traditional disciplines to AI-augmented fields
Apprenticeship models for AI-era careers
Lifelong learning infrastructure for continuous skill updating

Long Term: Economic Restructuring (2029+)

AI Productivity Dividend:

Tax on AI-driven productivity gains
Revenue funds universal basic income or guaranteed employment
Graduated based on displacement-to-job-creation ratio
Incentivizes companies to create new roles rather than just eliminate existing ones

Portable Benefits System:

Health insurance decoupled from employment
Retirement savings independent of employer
Unemployment insurance based on work history, not recent W-2 status
Enables workforce flexibility in AI-disrupted economy

Work Redefinition:

30-hour full-time workweek standard
Job sharing programs distributing available work
Focus on human-centric services AI can't replicate (caregiving, creative work, complex problem-solving)
Redefine economic value beyond pure labor productivity

Governance Frameworks:

Mandatory AI impact assessments before major deployments
Worker representation in automation decisions
Transparency requirements for AI decision-making systems
Audit mechanisms for bias and discrimination in AI systems

This agenda requires political will far exceeding what produced the current tracking bill. But documented displacement data creates political pressure enabling more aggressive interventions.

Conclusion: Measurement Without Action is Insufficient

The AI-Related Jobs Impacts Clarity Act represents important acknowledgment that AI workforce displacement requires federal attention. By requiring quarterly reporting of layoffs, retraining, and new opportunities, the legislation creates transparency previously absent.

But transparency alone doesn't pay mortgages, retrain workers, or create jobs. The bill's value depends entirely on whether documented displacement prompts substantive policy responses.

The Optimistic Case:

Quarterly reports showing hundreds of thousands of displaced workers with minimal company support create political pressure for:

Enhanced unemployment benefits and retraining funding
Mandatory corporate transition assistance
Regional economic support for affected communities
Long-term economic restructuring addressing AI-driven unemployment

Data makes displacement undeniable, forcing Congress to act beyond pure measurement.

The Pessimistic Case:

Quarterly reports document crisis while politicians point to "job creation" statistics ignoring:

Displaced administrative workers can't become AI researchers
Geographic concentration leaves entire regions economically devastated
Older workers face permanent exit from workforce
Income inequality accelerates as AI productivity gains flow to capital, not labor

Congress congratulates itself for tracking the disaster without addressing it.

The Likely Reality:

The bill passes, data emerges showing substantial displacement, modest policy responses provide inadequate support, and the workforce transition proceeds with avoidable human suffering that could have been mitigated with aggressive intervention.

Oliver Roberts' prediction of a "come to Jesus moment" suggests that only after displacement becomes undeniable catastrophe will Congress seriously address the structural challenges AI poses to work and economic security.

The tracking bill documents the path to that moment. Whether we arrive there with support systems in place for affected workers, or watch mass unemployment unfold without adequate policy response, depends on actions taken after the data becomes visible.

For the 77,999 workers displaced in 2025, and the hundreds of thousands more facing elimination in 2026-2027, this legislation offers no immediate help. It measures their suffering without alleviating it. Whether measurement eventually prompts meaningful action remains to be seen.

But one truth is certain: we can't address problems we don't measure. This bill creates the infrastructure to see what's coming. The question is whether we have the political will to act on what the data reveals.
