Summary
This bill would prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from asking questions about citizenship status, nationality, or immigration status in the decennial census (conducted every 10 years). **What it does:** Removes the ability to include citizenship-related questions on the main census form that goes to all households. **Who it affects:** All U.S. residents who participate in the census, including citizens, legal immigrants, and undocumented immigrants. **What would change:** The census would focus solely on counting all people living in the U.S. without distinguishing their legal status. This could affect: - How comfortable people feel about responding to the census - Data available to government agencies about citizenship demographics - Political redistricting and federal funding allocation (which are based on total population counts) Currently, the bill is in congressional committee and has not been voted on. The 2020 census did not include citizenship questions on the main form.
