What’s in it

AI summary The temporary redistricting advisory commission would have more responsibilities when new maps are created. If the agency has to submit a second or third plan, the commission must hold three public hearings and write a report for those plans too. Additionally, the general assembly must wait at least three days after receiving the commission's report before voting on a new plan.1

Read the official explanation

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.
