Realign Congressional Districts 2025.
SB 249 proposes redrawing the state's congressional district boundaries to reflect new census data, directly affecting voters in those districts for the 2025 elections. The bill would establish a new map for congressional representation in the 2025 election cycle based on updated population data. It is currently pending in the Senate after being filed and passing its first reading, though it was recently withdrawn from committee. This is a procedural redistricting bill focused on boundary changes, not substantive policy.
