Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congres- sional redistricting after a decennial census and appor- tionment, to require States to conduct such redistricting through independent commissions, and for other pur- poses.
AI Summary
This bill, the John Tanner Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act, would prohibit states from conducting more than one congressional redistricting after each decennial census and apportionment. It would require states to conduct congressional redistricting through independent commissions, rather than the state legislature. The bill provides specific criteria and procedures for how these independent commissions must be established and how they must develop redistricting plans. If a commission's plan is not enacted, the bill provides for the state's highest court or a federal court to select a plan. The bill also authorizes payments to states to help them carry out the redistricting process through these independent commissions.
