Bill overview
This bill, the One Citizen, One Seat Act, aims to change how the U.S. Census Bureau counts residents for the 2020 census. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to revise the population count to include only individuals who are citizens of the United States, excluding non-citizens. States must use this revised citizen count for all federal grant applications starting 60 days after the revised data is provided. This legislation seeks to ensure a more accurate representation of the U.S. population based solely on citizenship.
