What it does
The Equal Representation Act would require the U.S. Census Bureau to include a citizenship question on the 2030 decennial census and all future censuses, asking respondents to indicate the citizenship status of themselves and each household member. It would also mandate that the Census Bureau publicly release state-level data disaggregating citizens from noncitizens within 120 days after each census. Most significantly, the bill would change the basis for apportioning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and electoral votes to count only U.S. citizens, excluding noncitizens from the population totals used for these calculations, starting with the 2030 census.
