Adds new text at the end of 2 U.S.C. 2c addressing limits on congressional redistricting after an apportionment, including a provision that nothing in the added text affects the manner in which a State carries out elections for State or local office, and an effective date provision applying the addition to redistricting occurring after the November 2024 election.
Redesignates subsection (g) as subsection (h) and inserts a new subsection (g) requiring that the 2030 decennial census and each decennial census thereafter include a checkbox or similar option for respondents and household members to indicate one of four citizenship-status categories, and requires publication of state-level counts disaggregated by those categories within 120 days after completion of each decennial census.
Amends 2 U.S.C. 2a(a) to exclude noncitizens from the number of persons in each State used to determine apportionment of Representatives (and thus electoral votes).
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
