Bill > S641

This bill establishes a Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw districts for the state legislature and U.S. Congress, rather than the legislature doing so. The commission would have 15 members, with representation from the two major political parties and unaffiliated voters. The bill also makes Supreme Court and Court of Appeals elections nonpartisan, extends the "revolving door" period for lobbyists, establishes online voter registration, and creates an automatic voter registration system at certain government agencies. Additionally, it establishes a "Fair Elections Fund" to provide public financing for state executive and legislative candidates who meet certain requirements.
