AI Summary
This bill aligns the statutory redistricting deadlines in Washington to the Constitution. It amends the existing law to require the Washington State Redistricting Commission to submit their redistricting plan to the legislature by November 15th of the year ending in one, instead of January 1st of the year ending in two. This change ensures the new redistricting plan is in place before the next elections, as required by the Constitution. The legislature has 30 days to amend the plan, and if they fail to approve a plan, the state Supreme Court will adopt a final plan by March 1st of the year ending in two.
