Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) introduced the One Citizen, One Seat Act (H.R. 5743), legislation that would require the U.S. Commerce Secretary to “revise the tabulation of total population by States for the 2020 decennial census… to include only individuals who are citizens of the United States.”
Within 60 days of enactment, the Commerce Secretary would need to “provide to each State the tabulation of total population for such State as revised.”
H.R. 5743 would prohibit federal grants to a state (starting 60 days after the delivery of the new tabulations) unless the state:
- “uses only such tabulation as so revised for all purposes for which such State would have used such tabulation prior to such revision”; and
- “does not otherwise use such tabulation other than as so revised.”
The legislation has been referred to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and has no cosponsors.
