What this bill does
H.R. 10377, the "MAGA Act," would amend laws governing the U.S. Census and congressional apportionment. Specifically, it proposes to exclude noncitizens from the population count used to determine the number of representatives each state receives in Congress. The bill also requires the inclusion of a citizenship question on future decennial censuses and mandates a recalculation of congressional apportionment based on the 2020 census, excluding noncitizens, by early 2027.
This legislation would affect individuals living in the United States, as their citizenship status could influence the apportionment of congressional districts. It would also impact federal agencies responsible for conducting the census and calculating apportionment, requiring them to use official government data to identify and exclude noncitizens for these purposes. State governments may also be asked to provide relevant information.
As an introduced bill, H.R. 10377 has been referred to committees in the House of Representatives. It must pass through these committees, potentially be amended, and then be voted on by the full House. If passed by the House, it would then move to the Senate for consideration and a vote. If both chambers pass the bill, it would be sent to the President to be signed into law or vetoed.
