Bill > HR6486

This bill, known as the Make Allegiances Clear Again (MACA) Act, requires the U.S. Census Bureau to collect information about dual citizenship during the 2030 decennial census and subsequent censuses. Specifically, the bill amends Title 13 of the United States Code by adding a new subsection that mandates including a checkbox or similar option on census questionnaires for respondents to indicate whether they and members of their household are citizens of both the United States and another country, and if so, to specify which additional country they are citizens of. The goal appears to be gathering more detailed demographic information about individuals with citizenship in multiple countries, which could potentially inform policy decisions or provide insights into population dynamics. By adding this requirement to the decennial census, the bill aims to create a more comprehensive understanding of citizenship status among U.S. residents.
