What this amendment would do

The amendment, submitted by Mr. Hagerty to bill S. 1383, proposes the Equal Representation Act. It aims to change how the population is counted and used for congressional representation.

  • Census Questionnaires: It would require the Secretary to include a checkbox or similar option on the 2030 decennial census and all following censuses for respondents to indicate if they and their household members are U.S. citizens.

  • Public Data: The Secretary would be required to make public the number of individuals per State, broken down by U.S. citizens and noncitizens, within 120 days after the census is completed.

  • Apportionment: The amendment seeks to exclude individuals who are not citizens of the United States from the number of persons used to determine the apportionment of Representatives in Congress and the number of electoral votes. This change would start with the 2030 census.

  • Severability: It includes a clause stating that if any part of the section is found to be unconstitutional, the other provisions remain in effect.
