AI Summary
This bill requires the adjustment of census data for local redistricting to reflect the last known place of residence for incarcerated persons. It amends existing state law (RCW 29A.76.010) to mandate that census data used for local redistricting be adjusted in this manner. The bill sets timelines for local governments to prepare redistricting plans based on the adjusted census data, and provides a process for registered voters to challenge the redistricting plans in court. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2023, and the provision requiring the census data adjustment expires on that same date.
