A 4773 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Restoring the Representation of Legal Residents Act;" requires Secretary of State to adjust census apportionment and redistricting data to remove illegal alien population for apportionment and redistricting purposes in this State.

This New Jersey bill (A4773) requires the Secretary of State to adjust census data used for redistricting by excluding undocumented immigrants from population counts. It directs the Secretary to develop an accurate legal resident count using datasets like Census citizenship data and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission records. The adjusted data would then determine boundaries for congressional, state legislative, county, municipal, and school districts. This change aims to ensure districts reflect the population of legal residents only, rather than including undocumented immigrants in apportionment calculations.
