Bill > H4256

This bill establishes the congressional districts in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The state is divided into 9 congressional districts, each of which will elect 1 representative to the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill provides detailed descriptions of the geographic areas and municipalities that make up each district. 2. Cities and towns that include 2 or more congressional districts must establish precincts or sub-precincts along the district boundaries. These precincts and sub-precincts will remain unchanged until the next redistricting after the next federal census. 3. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has jurisdiction over any civil actions related to the establishment of the congressional districts. A complaint must be filed within 10 days of the bill's effective date.
