Connecticut Attorney General William Tong joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general and two governors in opposing proposed changes to the 2030 Census. The coalition argued the proposal would exclude people from the count, remove demographic questions, and replace the usual-residence standard; this was a comment-letter action, not a penalty or enforcement order.
This release describes a coalition comment on a proposed government census rule, not a finding against a company, so it does not identify specific contract clauses requiring remediation. Organizations that license demographic, residency, or population data from vendors should nevertheless review data-processing and data-licensing terms for representations about accuracy, completeness, collection methodology, permitted uses, provenance, correction procedures, and auditability; government contractors should also check requirements for census-related data handling and reporting.
