NJ SCR111

Expresses New Jersey Legislature's support for H.R. 7109, the federal "Equal Representation Act," which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on May 8, 2024

Supports requiring a citizenship question on the decennial census and basing congressional apportionment and electoral college votes on U.S. citizen population rather than total population including noncitizens

Cites concerns that current census methodology, which counts all residents including illegal immigrants, dilutes the representation of congressional districts with fewer noncitizens

Claims over 10 million people have illegally entered the U.S. under President Biden, bringing total noncitizen population to an estimated 30 million people

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to congressional leadership and all members of Congress from New Jersey
