Relating to a study on the feasibility of this state conducting a census of the residents of this state.

SB 1469 requires the Texas state demographer to study whether the state could conduct its own census to better determine resident populations. The study must examine costs, benefits, challenges, and how more detailed demographic data - such as citizenship status - might reduce state spending on programs and appropriations. It must assume the census would include a question about U.S. citizenship for all residents. The demographer must submit a final report to the legislature by July 1, 2026, and the bill expires on September 1, 2026. This bill does not create a new census but assesses its feasibility for potential future use.
