Department of Correction must deliver to Secretary of State by May 1st of decennial census years a report on all incarcerated persons under its jurisdiction, including unique identifiers, facility addresses, pre-incarceration addresses, age, race, and ethnicity, without disclosing names.

Office of Legislative Research must adjust census population counts to credit incarcerated persons with known in-state residential addresses to their home addresses rather than facility locations, and remove them from facility location counts.

Incarcerated persons with unknown or out-of-state residential addresses must be removed from facility location population counts and counted in a state unit not tied to specific geography, similar to military personnel stationed abroad.

Secretary of State must publish adjusted census data within 30 days of federal redistricting data release for use in determining state legislative districts, municipal voting districts, and distributing state or federal funds.

Department of Correction must determine and maintain electronic records of residential addresses for all persons committed on or after January 1, 2017, including their last-known address prior to incarceration.
