The California Constitution requires the Citizens Redistricting Commission to adjust the boundary lines of the congressional, State Senate, Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts in the year following the year in which the national decennial census is taken and requires the districts be redrawn in conformance with specified standards. This bill would specify the elements that define the congressional districts if ACA 8 of the 2025–26 Regular Session is adopted by the voters. These provisions would become operative only if specified provisions of that constitutional amendment become operative, and would remain in effect only until a new map of congressional districts is certified by the Citizens Redistricting Commission as described above. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The California Constitution establishes the Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is required to adjust the boundary lines of congressional, Senate, Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts in the year following the year in which the national census is taken at the beginning of each decade. This measure, which would include a legislative finding that it is in response to redistricting in Texas in 2025, would, notwithstanding the authority of the Citizens Redistricting Commission, require the state to temporarily use the congressional districts reflected in AB 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session for every congressional election until the new congressional boundary lines are drawn by the commission in 2031.

The California Constitution establishes the Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is required to adjust the boundary lines of congressional, Senate, Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts in each year ending in 1. If enacted by the Legislature and approved by the voters, ACA 8 of the 2025–26 Regular Session would adopt new congressional district boundaries that would remain in effect until the commission next adjusts the boundaries in 2031, if another state also adopts new congressional district boundaries between August 1, 2025, and January 1, 2031. If ACA 8 is enacted by the Legislature and approved by the voters, and a specified provision of that measure becomes operative, this measure would prohibit a Member of the Legislature who voted in favor of ACA 8 from being a candidate for congressional office in any congressional district adopted pursuant to ACA 8.
