Updates provisions relating to the independent redistricting commission
This bill updates the state constitution to ensure that an independent redistricting commission draws new maps for state and congressional districts every ten years following the federal census. The commission must submit its proposed maps and the necessary implementing laws to the legislature by mid-January, with specific rules requiring the legislature to vote on these plans without any amendments. If the legislature or the governor rejects the commission's plan, the bill outlines a process for the commission to submit a second plan or for individual legislative houses to create their own maps. These changes aim to standardize the timeline and procedure for redistricting, ensuring that district boundaries are updated regularly based on population data.
