An Act providing for the establishment, conduct and composition of the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission, for adoption of congressional district maps, for prioritized redistricting criteria, for failure to adopt final congressional district map and for judicial review.

HB 1215 establishes Pennsylvania's Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission to draw congressional district maps, directly affecting how Pennsylvania's 17 congressional districts are defined. The bill requires a 15-member commission (5 from the largest party, 5 from the second-largest, and 5 nonpartisan members) selected through a public application process with transparency requirements. Key provisions include prioritizing specific redistricting criteria (like population equality and community integrity), setting deadlines for map adoption, and allowing judicial review if maps aren't finalized. The commission must operate transparently with public input, and maps must be drawn every decade following a standardized process. This bill changes the redistricting process from legislative control to a structured, nonpartisan commission.
