Expresses support for "Equal Representation Act."

This New Jersey Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR 142) expresses support for H.R. 7109, the "Equal Representation Act," a federal bill introduced in January 2024. The resolution supports changing how congressional representation is calculated by requiring a citizenship question on the census and basing apportionment on U.S. citizen population instead of total population (which currently includes noncitizens). It does not create new law but urges the U.S. Senate to pass H.R. 7109, which would modify census-based representation rules. The resolution states that current census counts dilute citizen representation due to noncitizen inclusion, though it does not alter any existing policy. This is a procedural statement of support, not a legislative change.
