What’s in it
AI summary The temporary redistricting advisory commission would have more responsibilities when reviewing new maps for voting districts. If the agency submits a second or third plan, the commission must hold at least one public hearing and issue a report for each one. These hearings must allow people to give comments and be held in different parts of the state so more Iowans can participate.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 at least one public hearing and issue a report following submission of a second or third plan, if necessary, by the legislative services agency. The bill requires the commission to allow public comment as part of the public hearing process and provides that the public hearings be conducted in a manner that allows for participation by Iowans from different geographic regions of the state. 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.
