CENSUS: Memorializes Congress to enact a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act directing the Department of Defense to provide accurate on-base population counts for the decennial census

Summary

The Louisiana House passed a resolution asking the U.S. Congress to add a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act that would require the Department of Defense to give the Census Bureau precise counts of military personnel, civilian employees and their families living on bases. It targets the three major installations in Louisiana and any other contiguous‑U.S. bases. Accurate counts would improve congressional apportionment, federal funding distribution, and reduce costly door‑to‑door enumeration on secure sites.
