Requires Secretary of State to adjust census redistricting data to remove noncitizens for redistricting purposes in this State.
This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to adjust census data used for redistricting by excluding all noncitizens (including undocumented immigrants, legal residents, and long-term visitors) from population counts. It directly affects how legislative, county, and municipal districts are drawn in New Jersey, as these districts would be based solely on the citizen population. The key mechanism mandates that the Secretary of State modify data from the Census Bureau to remove noncitizens before creating district boundaries. This change would apply to all redistricting processes under state law, including those managed by the Apportionment Commission and local commissions.
