Bill > SB199

This bill, the Redistricting Act, establishes the State Redistricting Commission, a seven-member panel responsible for developing district plans for New Mexico's congressional districts, state house and senate, and the public education commission. The commission must create single-member, contiguous districts that comply with federal law, without favoring a political party or incumbent. The commission is required to hold public meetings, adopt the district plans as rules, and provide written evaluations of the plans. The legislature may select one plan from each set, or must select the plan the commission indicates best satisfies the requirements. The bill also provides for judicial review of the adopted plans.
