A Joint Resolution proposing integrated and distinct amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, repealing provisions relating to Legislative Redistricting Commission and providing for Independent Redistricting Commission and for redistricting criteria.
This bill proposes replacing Pennsylvania's current Legislative Redistricting Commission with a new Independent Redistricting Commission to draw state and congressional election maps. The new commission would consist of eleven citizens selected from the two largest political parties and unaffiliated voters, with strict rules preventing current or former politicians, lobbyists, and party officials from serving. By removing elected lawmakers from the redistricting process, the legislation aims to create a more neutral body responsible for establishing district boundaries based on census data.
