Freedom from Government Surveys Act

This bill amends U.S. law to make the American Community Survey (ACS) truly voluntary. It removes penalties for households that refuse to answer ACS questions and requires the Census Bureau to include a clear statement on the survey itself stating participation is voluntary. The bill directly affects all households receiving the ACS, which collects detailed demographic data for communities. Key changes are: (1) eliminating civil penalties for non-response, and (2) mandating a voluntary participation notice on the survey form. These changes apply to the current ACS and any future successor survey.
