Equal Representation Act
Requires the decennial census, starting in 2030, to ask every person in each household to select one of four citizenship/immigration status categories and to publish, within 120 days after each census, state totals broken out by those categories.
Changes how seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Electoral College votes are divided among states by excluding noncitizens from the apportionment counts beginning with the apportionment based on the 2030 census. Includes a severability clause so the rest remains in effect if a part is struck down.
