Unanimous Consent
Unanimous Consent
A senator may request unanimous consent on the floor to set aside a specified rule of procedure so as to expedite proceedings. If no Senator objects, the Senate permits the action, but if any one senator objects, the request is rejected. Unanimous consent requests with only immediate effects are routinely granted, but ones affecting the floor schedule, the conditions of considering a bill or other business, or the rights of other senators, are normally not offered, or a floor leader will object to it, until all senators concerned have had an opportunity to inform the leaders that they find it acceptable.

Summary
Improve Data on Sexual Violence Act
This bill directs the Office of Management and Budget to establish an interagency working group to study federal efforts to collect data on sexual violence and to make recommendations on efforts to coordinate sexual violence data collection to produce complementary information, without compromising programmatic needs.
The working group shall consider:
- what activity constitutes different acts of sexual violence,
- whether reports that use the same terms for acts of sexual violence are collecting the same data on these acts,
- whether the context which led to such an act should impact how that act is accounted for in reports,
- whether the data collected is presented in a way that allows the general public to understand what acts of sexual violence are included in each measurement, and
- steps that agencies that compile reports relating to sexual violence can take to avoid double counting incidents.
