Ensuring Full Participation in the Census Act of 2026

This bill would change federal census law so that questionnaires or surveys used for the once-every-ten-years national census could not ask about citizenship, nationality, or immigration status. The ban would cover questions about the person answering, their family members, and anyone living in their household. The American Community Survey, which the Commerce Department runs separately, would not be covered by this ban.
