This law bans taking money for helping someone get a Census Bureau job. It's illegal to accept a fee or reward for getting someone appointed as an enumerator, clerk, or other Census employee. It's also illegal to take any part of that person's pay. Violators can be fined up to $3,000 or imprisoned up to five years.

This section punishes two things. (1) It's illegal to accept or arrange to receive any fee, reward, or payment as the price for getting someone appointed as a supervisor, enumerator, clerk, or other officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or one of its bureaus or agencies covered by subchapter II of chapter 1 of this title. (2) It's also illegal to receive, in any way, any part of the compensation paid to a person appointed that way. Anyone who breaks either rule can be fined not more than $3,000, imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
