Bill Summary
A Joint Resolution proposing integrated amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, deleting provisions relating to the Legislative Reapportionment Commission; and providing for the Independent Redistricting Commission.
AI Summary
This bill proposes integrated amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It would delete the provisions relating to the Legislative Reapportionment Commission and instead provide for an Independent Redistricting Commission. The Independent Redistricting Commission would be responsible for redrawing the congressional, senatorial, and representative districts in Pennsylvania based on each federal decennial census. The commission would be composed of 11 members - 4 from the largest political party, 4 from the second largest, and 3 unaffiliated with the two largest parties. The commission would be required to conduct public hearings and follow specific criteria in drawing the district boundaries, such as minimizing divisions of counties and municipalities and prohibiting the favoring or disfavoring of any political party. The bill also includes provisions for the transition from the existing Legislative Reapportionment Commission to the new Independent Redistricting Commission.
