Bill overview
This bill, the Ensuring Full Participation in the Census Act of 2022, aims to ensure a more accurate count of the U.S. population by prohibiting the Census Bureau from asking questions about citizenship, nationality, or immigration status in the decennial census. The goal is to encourage broader participation from all residents, regardless of their immigration status. It specifically excludes the American Community Survey from this restriction. This legislation seeks to address concerns about historical undercounts within certain communities due to these types of questions.
