Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Secretary of State to remove noncitizens from census data used for redistricting purposes. The goal is to ensure that congressional, state legislative, and local districts are based solely on the population of U.S. citizens, aiming to prevent political disparities caused by including noncitizens in district calculations. The bill cites concerns about immigration levels and border security as justification for this adjustment.
