AI Summary
This bill, the Fair and Accurate Census Act, proposes to modify the deadline for completing the 2020 decennial census of the U.S. population. Specifically, it extends the deadline for the Secretary of Commerce to report the total population count by state for the purpose of congressional apportionment, from December 31, 2020 to April 30, 2021. It also requires the President to transmit the apportionment statement to Congress immediately upon receiving the population count from the Secretary. Additionally, the bill mandates the Census Bureau to report monthly updates on various census operations to Congress, provides access for the Census Bureau to obtain information from institutions of higher education for census enumeration purposes, and limits the Bureau from compiling or publishing any new data products not originally planned for the 2020 census.
