The census is more than a constitutionally required population count. It determines how federal funds are distributed and how states are represented in Congress and state governments, and it can even influence who becomes president for most of the next decade.
The Equal Representation Act, which passed the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in December, is designed to ensure the 2030 Census accurately counts everyone living in the United States while preventing noncitizens from distorting federal funding, congressional representation, and electoral votes. The bill is expected to come before the full House for a vote early this year.
