Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Secretary of State to adjust census data used for redistricting purposes to remove the noncitizen population. The legislation argues that including noncitizens in census counts can dilute the voting power of U.S. citizens in state and local districts. It aims to ensure that congressional, state legislative, and local districts are based on counts of only U.S. citizens. The bill is based on concerns about current immigration policies and border security.
