REAPPORTIONMENT/HOUSE: Provides for the districts for the election of members of the House of Representatives
HB 700 establishes the detailed boundaries for Louisiana's 105 House of Representatives districts, defining exactly which precincts in each parish will be grouped into specific electoral districts. The bill directly affects Louisiana voters by determining which geographic areas elect their state representatives, with each district represented by one elected member. Key provisions include replacing the previous redistricting law (R.S. 24:35.3) with new district descriptions covering all parishes, including specific precincts in Caddo, Bossier, Orleans, and other parishes. This procedural bill sets the electoral map for upcoming elections without changing voting rules or policies.
