This bill would prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from asking questions about citizenship, nationality, or immigration status in the decennial census, which is conducted every ten years. The legislation would apply to questions asked of respondents themselves, their family members, or anyone living in their household. The only exception is the American Community Survey, a separate ongoing survey that would be allowed to continue asking citizenship-related questions. The bill aims to encourage fuller participation in the census by removing questions that immigrants and non-citizens might fear answering. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.
