Bill overview
The Make Allegiances Clear Again Act (MACA Act) aims to improve the U.S. Census Bureau’s ability to accurately count the population by requiring the collection of data on dual citizenship status in each decennial census. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Census Bureau include a question on future census questionnaires asking individuals to indicate if they are citizens of both the United States and another country. This data collection is intended to provide a more complete and accurate count of the population for apportionment and redistricting purposes. The act seeks to clarify the citizenship status of individuals residing in the United States.
