Independent Redistricting Commission established, Redistricting Commission Applicant Review Panel established, principles to be used in adopting legislative and congressional districts established, former legislative members lobbying activity prohibited, legislative session conduct and convening requirements amended, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 3270 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish an Independent Redistricting Commission that would draw Minnesota's legislative and congressional district lines instead of the legislature. It also creates a panel to review commission applicants, sets guidelines for redistricting, and prohibits former legislators from lobbying for one year after leaving office. The bill amends session rules to limit regular legislative sessions to 120 days and sets specific convening requirements. These changes would directly affect Minnesota voters through district boundaries, legislators through the lobbying restriction, and the redistricting process itself. The proposal requires voter approval to take effect.
