AI Summary
This bill, the Voter Population Accuracy Act, requires the Bureau of the Census to collect information on citizenship status through the decennial census starting with the 2030 census. Specifically, it mandates that the census questionnaire include a checkbox or similar option for respondents to indicate whether they and each member of their household are a U.S. citizen or national. This provision aims to gather more accurate data on the citizenship composition of the U.S. population, which could impact how congressional districts are drawn and federal funding is allocated.
