HF 2215: Relating to legislative and congressional redistricting concerning the duties of the temporary redistricting advisory commission

What it does

This bill concerns the duties of the temporary redistricting advisory commission following the delivery of a plan of legislative and congressional redistricting to the general assembly by the legislative services agency. Under current law, the commission is only required to conduct three public hearings and issue a report following submission of the initial plan of redistricting by the legislative services agency. The bill requires the commission to conduct three public hearings and issue a report following submission of a second or third plan, if necessary, by the legislative services agency. The bill requires that a vote on a second or third plan of redistricting must take place no less than three days after the report of the commission is submitted to the general assembly for that plan.
