AI Summary
This bill proposes a new congressional redistricting map for the state of Kansas, known as "Ad Astra Two." The key provisions of the bill are:
1. It defines various geographic terms used in the redistricting plan, such as "voting district," "tract," "block group," and "block," based on the official 2020 U.S. Census data.
2. It outlines the specific boundaries of the four congressional districts in Kansas, providing detailed descriptions of the counties, voting districts, tracts, block groups, and blocks that make up each district.
3. It states that the new congressional district boundaries will not affect the terms of representatives elected in the 2020 general election, and those representatives will continue to serve their current districts until the new districts take effect in January 2023.
4. The bill also repeals two existing statutes related to congressional reapportionment in Kansas.
Overall, this bill seeks to establish a new set of congressional district boundaries for the state of Kansas based on the latest census data, while ensuring a smooth transition for the current representatives.
