CENSUS: Memorializes Congress to enact a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act directing the Department of Defense to provide accurate on-base population counts for the decennial census

This Louisiana House resolution asks the U.S. Congress to require the Department of Defense to provide exact population counts of military personnel, civilian employees, and their families directly to the Census Bureau for military bases in the contiguous United States. The bill aims to improve census accuracy by replacing door-to-door counts on secure installations with verified data already maintained by the military, which should reduce undercounts and allow census resources to focus elsewhere. By ensuring precise numbers are submitted during the decennial census, the measure seeks to support fair congressional apportionment and federal funding allocation for affected communities.
