    (5 ILCS 410/5)
    Sec. 5. Findings and purpose. The General Assembly hereby
finds as follows:
    (a) Efficient, responsive, and accountable disbursement of
State services is best facilitated by a diversified State work
force which reflects the diversity of the tax-paying
constituency the State work force is employed to serve.
    (b) The purpose of this Act is to require and develop
within existing State administrative processes a comprehensive
procedure to collect, classify, maintain, and publish, for
State and public use, information that provides the General
Assembly and the People of this State with adequate
information of the number of minorities, women, persons who
identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming, and persons
with physical disabilities employed by State government within
the State work force.
    (c) To provide State officials, administrators and the
People of the State with information to help guide efforts to
achieve a more diversified State work force, the total number
of persons employed within the State work force shall be
tabulated in a comprehensive manner to provide meaningful
review of the number and percentage of minorities, women,
persons who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming,
and persons with physical disabilities employed as part of the
State work force.
