This legislation requires the Secretary of Commerce to revise the 2020 decennial census population tabulation for each state to include only United States citizens . This revision aims to alter how state populations are officially counted, potentially impacting various allocations and representations. Within 60 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretary must provide each state with this citizen-only population data. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that states will become ineligible for Federal Government grants if they do not exclusively use this revised, citizen-only tabulation for all purposes where population data is required, effectively prohibiting the use of any other population count.
