Expresses support for "Equal Representation Act."
SCR 111 is a New Jersey legislative resolution expressing support for H.R. 7109, the "Equal Representation Act." It does not create new law but formally endorses the federal bill, which proposes basing congressional apportionment and electoral college votes on U.S. citizen population instead of total population (including noncitizens). The resolution cites concerns that current census counts, which include noncitizens, dilute representation for citizens in districts with higher noncitizen populations. The resolution urges the U.S. Senate to pass H.R. 7109 and will be sent to federal officials as a statement of support.
