Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing an independent redistricting commission to establish districts for the election of the members of the United States House of Representatives elected from this state, the Texas Senate, and the Texas House of Representatives.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting commission in Texas. The commission would be responsible for drawing election districts for the U.S. House of Representatives (Texas seats), Texas Senate, and Texas House of Representatives, replacing the current legislative process. It would have sole authority to establish or change district boundaries after each federal census, requiring districts to follow specific geographic and population rules. The amendment would take effect by adding new sections to the Texas Constitution, shifting redistricting power from the legislature to this nonpartisan body.
