Census: Citizenship Data Collection and New Congressional Apportionment Rules

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: The 2030 census and all subsequent censuses will include a question about citizenship status for all household members. A new interagency working group will be established to improve the collection of citizenship data by the government. Congressional representation for each state will be determined based only on the number of citizens, not the total population.

This act mandates the collection of citizenship status information in the decennial census, starting in 2030. This means future census forms will require respondents to indicate their citizenship status. Crucially, the act changes how congressional seats are divided among states, basing apportionment solely on the number of citizens, which could alter state representation.
