Relating to the Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission and the redistricting of the districts used to elect members of the United States House of Representatives, the Texas Legislature, and the State Board of Education.

HB 259 establishes the Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission to redraw Texas districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, Texas Legislature, and State Board of Education following each U.S. census. The Commission, appointed by December 31 of each census year, must draw district boundaries using transparent public processes and specific criteria outlined in the bill. Key definitions like "census year" and "majority party" are established to guide the Commission's work. This bill shifts redistricting responsibility from the Texas Legislature to a citizen-led commission.
