Limits states to one Congressional district redraw per decade after the census.
This bill would limit states to redrawing their Congressional districts only once every ten years, after the national census. This means voters would see more stable district lines, as states could only make changes again if a court ordered it to fix a legal issue. These changes would apply to any redistricting done after the November 2024 election.
Today, federal law does not explicitly stop states from redrawing Congressional districts multiple times after a census. This allows for potential mid-decade changes to district lines. This bill would change that by prohibiting states from redrawing Congressional districts more than once after each ten-year census, unless a court requires a second redraw to follow the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
